Fondul Proprietatea (Property Fund - FP) saw a 7.3% rise in itsnet assets to 16.45 billion lei (4 billion euros) in the firstquarter of the year, mainly driven by the rise of the shares of OMVPetrom (SNP), the most valuable company in its portfolio.

The SIFs (Financial Investment Companies) saw a lesssignificant increase in net assets, by an average 4.6%, largelybecause of valuation differences.

Alongside oil and utilities, the Fund also holds bankingshares in its portfolio, which account for up to 2.78% of its netassets.

At the end of the first quarter, the Petrom stake heldby FP was worth 4.875 billion lei or 30% of its net asset value.For the listed companies in its portfolio, the fund values itsstakes based on the price of the share on the date when the netasset is calculated (in this case March 31st).
