Interim Management Statement

DIVERSE INCOME TRUST PLC

Interim Management Statement - period to 30 September 2011

Diverse Income Trust Plc (the "Company") presents its interim management
statement for the period 28 April 2011 to 30 September 2011. This constitutes
the Company's first interim management statement for the financial year ending
31 May 2012, as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rule 4.3.

The Company was incorporated on 30 March 3011 and its shares were admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange on 28 April 2011.

Investment Objective

The Company's investment objective is to provide an attractive level of
dividends coupled with capital growth over the long term. The Company intends
to pay dividends on a quarterly basis and will seek to grow the dividend
progressively. In its first year the Company will target an annualised dividend
yield of 4 per cent.

The Company will invest primarily in quoted UK companies with a wide range of
market capitalisations with a long term bias toward small and mid equities. The
Company may also invest in large cap companies, including FTSE 100
constituents, where it is believed that this will increase shareholder value.

The Manager will adopt a stock specific approach in managing the Company's
portfolio and therefore sector weightings will be of secondary consideration.
As a result of this approach, the Company's portfolio will not track any
benchmark index.
