TEMIT has a well-earned reputation for delivering growth for its shareholders but now its income characteristics have also been acknowledged with an industry award.
Kepler’s Income Ratings identify top-performing trusts by assessing risk-adjusted returns, income metrics, and sustainability. Trusts must demonstrate a minimum 3% yield and 3% annual dividend growth over five years, combined with robust NAV performance. TEMIT’s ability to meet these demanding criteria reinforces its position as a leader in emerging market investing.
Dividend heroes – future commitments to shareholders
In June 2024, TEMIT’s independent board announced a raft of exciting package of benefits including a commitment to at least maintain the current total annual dividend of 5p per share for the five years. The board has also expressed its willingness to draw on the trust’s substantial reserves if required, underscoring its dedication to delivering consistent income to shareholders.
Investment Trusts stand out from many other investments because they have the facility to manage dividend payments – either boosting payments or retaining some to smooth dividends over time. It’s just one of the many benefits that the investment trust structure (the original collective investment vehicle) has been offering for over 150 years … and is still popular today.
Focused on shareholder returns
TEMIT’s continued success reflects its disciplined investment approach and long-term value creation for its investors, making it a grow to over £2 billion assets under management, the largest in the sector.
