Aim
To achieve a total return in excess of a composite index, weighted as to 80% FTSE All-Share Index and 20% FTSE World (ex-UK) Index, by investing principally in a diversified international portfolio of equities and equity related securities.
Within this overall objective, the Company aims to maintain a progressive dividend policy which will be dependent upon, inter alia, the rate of revenue growth within the investment portfolio, and the level of dividend cover.
The yield is calculated on an historic basis using the actual dividends paid during the company's last financial year and the closing share price as at the end of the relevant month.
