The Company has two reportable segments, as described below. For each of them, the Board of Directors receives detailed reports on at least a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Company's reportable segments:
- Fund investments
- Direct investments.
Balance sheet and income and expense items that cannot be clearly allocated to one of the segments are shown in the column 'Corporate' in the following tables.
The reportable operating segments derive their revenue primarily by seeking investments to achieve an attractive return in relation to the risk being taken. The return consists of interest, dividends and/or unrealised and realised capital gains.
The financial information provided to the Board of Directors with respect to total assets and liabilities is presented in a manner consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements. The assessment of the performance of the operating segments is based on measurements consistent with IFRS. With the exception of capital calls payable, liabilities are not considered to be segment liabilities but rather managed at the corporate level.
There has been no transactions between the reportable segments except for fund to direct following Fund I making a in-specie transfer of its shares in Time Out to all its investors, which had the effect of reducing OCI's indirect holding to zero and increasing its direct holding.
