Dividend policy
The Company’s objective is to achieve shareholder returns through capital growth rather than income. However, in order to qualify for approval as an investment trust, the Company is not permitted to retain more than 15% of eligible investment income arising during any accounting period. Accordingly, the Board’s policy is to propose a modest annual dividend and one at least sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its investment trust status.
