The Board’s current policy is to pay a progressive dividend. The Board may make use of revenue reserves to support this policy. When we have unanticipated levels of income we may retain part of it or pay a special dividend.
By selecting complementary equity managers, we can continue to focus on both income and growth, with the aim of building on our 50-year plus track record of year-on-year ordinary dividend growth.
REINVEST YOUR DIVIDENDS
There’s now a new way to build up your shareholding: our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP). It’s easy to use and gives you the opportunity to reinvest your cash dividends into additional shares.
Typically, we pay our dividends at the end of each quarter.
The first quarterly dividend will be paid to qualifying shareholders as follows:
Payment date – 30 June 2021
