TwentyFour Income Fund Limited

Dividend of 10.81 pence per share for the Full Year to 31 March 2026
significantly in excess of minimum target

 

TwentyFour Income Fund Limited ("TFIF" or "the Company"), the FTSE 250-listed
investment company that invests in less liquid asset-backed securities
("ABS"), is proud to announce a balancing dividend of 4.81p per share for the
period ending 31 March 2026. This takes the total dividend for the full year
("FY") to 10.81pps , significantly in excess of its minimum dividend target of
8p per share. The FY dividend is equivalent to a yield of 9.70% on the share
price (as at 10 April 2026), which follows 2025's exceptional FY dividend of
11.1p per share.

The dividend is payable as follows:

Ex Dividend Date                     23 April 2026

Record Date                                24 April 2026

Dividend per Share                     4.81 pence per Ordinary Share
(Sterling)

TFIF operates a full payout model, meaning substantially all income is paid
out as dividends to shareholders. The Company currently pays shareholders 2p
per quarter, in line with its target for the year, with the final balancing
dividend announced after the year-end.

Managed by TwentyFour Asset Management LLP ("TwentyFour"), a leading ABS
portfolio manager, TFIF's portfolio has delivered a strong and consistent
income stream to shareholders since inception, with dividend targets both met
and raised, and achieved throughout the interest rate cycle.

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

As previously announced, the Company has introduced a Dividend Reinvestment
Plan ("DRIP"), in response to shareholder demand.

The DRIP will allow shareholders in TFIF to reinvest their cash dividend, or
to continue receiving their dividend as cash. Individual shareholders who
elect to reinvest their cash dividend will be able to reinvest the full amount
via the Company's Registrar, Computershare. Computershare will use the cash
dividend to buy new shares in the Company either on, or as soon as reasonably
practicable, after each dividend payment date.

The DRIP is available for shareholder participation on payment of the
full-year dividend for those on the register as at 24 April 2026.

Shareholders invested in TFIF via a retail platform may find their dividend
can be reinvested automatically through the platform, rather than via the
Company's DRIP. Those shareholders should contact their platform provider for
further information.

 

Sector and portfolio update

The ABS market continues to experience strong growth in Europe with €15.6bn
of issuance in the first two months of the year, taking the size of the market
to €609bn, as banks continue to turn to ABS as a funding tool post the end
of quantitative easing. The US CLO market has been equally active, with $14bn
of new issuance.

Issuance of both Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS") and
Collateralised Loan Obligations ("CLOs") are driving growth in the market,
boosting liquidity and improving overall asset quality.

The majority of the Company's portfolio is allocated to UK and Western Europe
CLOs and RMBS with BB and B ratings. The Portfolio Manager continues to
allocate to high quality lenders with short duration, maintaining flexibility
and liquidity in the portfolio, in order to take advantage of market
volatility. Since US CLOs are now within the Company's expanded investment
remit, the Portfolio Manager has also been able to successfully allocate to
the sector.

 

Commenting on the Company's dividend performance, Bronwyn Curtis OBE, Chair,
said                    : "TFIF has delivered another year of strong
performance, beating its minimum target dividend of 8p per share for the Full
Year, with a final balancing dividend of 4.81p pence. This almost matches last
year's record dividend, with this year's having been achieved in a lower
interest rate environment.

The Company is also pleased to offer shareholders the opportunity to reinvest
their dividends, with the introduction of a DRIP for the first time.

Looking ahead, the Board remains fully supportive of the Portfolio Manager's
allocation to pools of higher quality, short duration assets, particularly in
light of the shifting geopolitical landscape."

 

Aza Teeuwen, TwentyFour, said                    : ""The overall outlook for
ABS is positive. It is a growing asset class with both increased supply and
demand, supported by regulated data, which informs our investment decisions.
Changing regulations are also opening up the sector to a wider pool of
investors, which should further boost liquidity.

"From an investment perspective, we continue to favour higher quality lenders
with strong track records, preferring secured assets such as mortgages, auto
and corporate loans. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is keeping energy
prices elevated and volatile, which we believe will sustain inflationary
pressure - particularly in the UK - and potentially bring rate hikes. In this
environment, floating rate products such as CLOs and ABS are well positioned
to outperform, with the portfolio positioning reflecting this conviction.".
