RNS Number : 1141T  F&C Investment Trust PLC  20 June 2024

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

 

F&C INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

 

 

FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2024

 

 

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 2024 will be a payment of 3.60 pence per ordinary
share (2023: 3.40 pence per share). The dividend will be paid on 1 August 2024
to shareholders registered at the close of business on 28 June 2024. Please
note this payment will include a Dividend Re-investment Plan facility, for
which the election date will be 9 July 2024.

 

For the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company again paid 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.
