In total the fund has already invested in five new properties located in Denmark and Sweden. The fund is also a good example of a successful internationalisation of our investor base. We exited from Yrjönkatu 17 property, Finlayson and the minority holding in LUMENE Oy. These exits had a favourable impact on our carried interest income. The slow development of the Finnish and Russian economies still continues to affect the fair values of our own fund investments. However, the action programmes in the most challenging portfolio companies are being advanced. Our financing position is good and our fee income and operational expenses are in balance. Moreover, we increased the maturity of our own financing by participating in a multi-issuer bond guaranteed by Garantia Insurance Company Ltd with MEUR 10 share. More extensive fundraising rounds of our basic business operations will end this year. We are now preparing for the next steps in fundraising and in ensuring our competitiveness. In fundraising we aim to further broaden and internationalise our investor base." CapMan maintains its outlook estimate for 2014: We estimate our earnings per share to improve significantly from the level achieved in 2013 primarily due to increasing operating profit. Basis for outlook: Our fees will cover our expenses before possible non-recurring expenses related to acquisitions or larger development projects. CapMan receives carried interest income from funds as a result of a completed exit in the event that the fund already is in carry or will enter carry due to the exit. Our current portfolio holds several investments, which we are ready to exit during 2014. The fair value development of our own fund investments will have a substantial impact on our overall result in 2014. We expect disparity in the development of individual portfolio companies and real estate also during 2014 depending on their industry and geographical location. In addition, our portfolio companies and real estate are also influenced by various other factors, among others the general development of industries and local economies, valuation multiples of peer companies, and exchange rates.
