Dividend policy update
The Company continues to rebalance its portfolio towards tradable securities and has been able to make attractive investments within the Public ABS and CLO sector as opportunities arise within the market. To that effect, the Company plans to remove the previously announced cap on maximum cash balance, so the portfolio manager can have more flexibility to continue to re-invest based on prevailing market conditions, with excess cash being reinvested.
In line with the current dividend policy the Company re-confirms its target quarterly dividend yield of 2.5 per cent (by reference to NAV) equating to a targeted annualised dividend yield of 10 per cent. (by reference to NAV). The Company's net target return remains 9-11 per cent per annum.
The dividend and net return targets stated above are targets only and are not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that these targets will be met and they should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected future results.
