Dunedin Income Growth Trust: a new dividend policy

Ben Ritchie, co-manager of Dunedin Income Growth Investment Trust (DIG), explains the trust’s newly announced dividend policy and why separating investment strategy from distribution creates a more compelling proposition for investors. He outlines the increase in the dividend to 6% of NAV, the strength of the trust’s revenue and capital reserves, and how this approach provides greater flexibility to invest in companies with stronger long-term total return potential. He also discusses how the policy supports a high and sustainable income while enhancing future growth opportunities.
