RNS Number : 4551D  F&C Investment Trust PLC  21 June 2023

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

 

F&C INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

 

 

FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2023

 

 

LEI: 213800W6B18ZHTNG7371

Information disclosed in accordance with DTR 6.1.13

 

The Directors of the Company have resolved that the first interim dividend for
the year ending 31 December 2023 will be a payment of 3.40 pence per ordinary
share (2022: 3.20 pence per share). The dividend will be paid on 1 August 2023
to shareholders registered at the close of business on 30 June 2023. Please
note this payment will include a Dividend Re-investment Plan facility, for
which the election date will be 11 July 2023.

 

For the year ended 31 December 2022, the Company returned to a fully covered
dividend. The Board hopes that the dividend for the current financial year
will also be covered, but the Company has substantial revenue reserves and can
therefore support dividend payments when they are not covered by current year
income. With this significant investment trust advantage over many open-ended
funds, the Company remains well positioned in continuing to deliver dividend
rises to shareholders over the longer term.
