Private equity investor SVG Capital is set to benefit after Permira, in which it has both direct and indirect holdings, agreed to sell 53 per cent of its remaining holding in Galaxy Entertainment Group, a Hong Kong-listed casino and hotel operator, at HKD21 per share.

The actual value of the partial realisation for SVG is £92m, which, together with the value of the remaining holding in Galaxy represents a £17m (6p per share) uplift to the June 2012 valuation of Galaxy of £161m.
