On Rational Radio this week, Naspers Group CFO Basil Sgourdos told Alec Hogg how the decision to list the group's global internet assets in the now Dutch listed company Prosus, has unlocked more than $20bn for shareholders. Speaking from Amsterdam on the day Prosus shares were listed, Sgourdos explained that since the strategy was announced, the shares' discount to underlying assets has dropped from 45% to under 35%.
