Dividend policy
It is the Company’s policy to pursue capital growth for shareholders with income being a secondary consideration. This means that the Portfolio Manager is frequently drawn to companies whose future growth profile is more important than the generation of dividend income for shareholders. The Company complies with the United Kingdom’s investment trust rules which require investment trusts to retain no more than 15% of their distributable income each year. The Company’s dividend policy is that the Company will pay a dividend as a minimum to maintain investment trust status.
