Edison issues review on The Diverse Income Trust (DIVI)
The Diverse Income Trust (DIVI) aims to provide shareholders
with an attractive and growing level of income, as well as capital
growth, over the long term. Unconstrained by index considerations,
the managers (Gervais Williams and Martin Turner) have a wide
investment universe from which to select companies that are well
managed and able to deliver sustainable and growing dividends. The
portfolio is well diversified, with a bias towards small-cap
companies; since DIVI's inception in April 2011 to end-September
2019, the trust has delivered an annualised NAV total return of
11.5% and consistent growth of its regular dividend.
DIVI currently trades at a 5.2% discount to its cum-income NAV,
which is wider than its three-year average discount of 1.3%. The
board is committed to maintaining the share price close to the NAV
and there is an annual redemption opportunity for shareholders.
There is scope for the discount to narrow should the current very
weak investor appetite for UK equities, and small-caps in
particular, improve.
