MID WYND INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
Interim Management Statement - 3 months to 31 March 2008
Mid Wynd's objective is to achieve capital and income growth by investing on a
worldwide basis.
The proportion of the portfolio invested in British companies will not normally
exceed a quarter. Owing to its size, the Company is able to include small
companies and markets in its portfolio which are not practical for its larger
peers.
Review of the Period
• Over the period, the Company's net asset value fell by 5.7% compared to a
fall in the benchmark of 8.7% while the share price fell by 5.3%. All
figures are total return.
• The interim dividend of 5.50p per share will be paid on 7 April 2008.
• During the period Y300m (£1.4m) of the Yen long term loan was repaid early.
