Diverse Income Trust : Monthly Factsheet - January 2017  (21/02/2017)

The Diverse Income Trust plc (the Trust) is a United Kingdom-based investment trust. The Trust’s primary objective is to pay shareholders a growing dividend principally derived from those paid by a portfolio of listed United Kingdom companies. The Trust’s strategy is maximizing the potential for dividend growth, as companies that generate the long-term dividend growth are often those that deliver the capital return. The Trust invests primarily in United Kingdom-quoted or traded companies with a range of market capitalizations but a long-term bias toward small and mid-cap equities. The Trust may also invest in large cap companies, including FTSE 100 constituents, where it is believed that this may increase shareholder value. The Trust’s entire portfolio is predominantly invested in publicly listed stocks, cash and an option. Premier Portfolio Managers Limited acts as the alternative investment fund manager of the Trust.
