Above average dividend
IGV: The Income & Growth VCT pays above average, for a dividend paying company.
Currently paying an Interim Dividend of 5p and due to go ex-dividend on Thursday 24th June 2021. At the current price of 90p this would give an annual yield of 5.55% and there will be a final dividend in late September.
I carried out extensive research in January & February and bought in late February. There was a substantial investment in the unlisted Virgin Wines, and I communicated with the management of Mobeus as I did not know if they had divested their investment fully in Virgin Wines (they did not but they wrapped all four VCT’s shares into one holding (to save expenses)
The company has never had any debt. “The Company's target of paying a dividend of at least 6.00 pence per share in respect of each financial year has been met or exceeded in each of the last nine years”
They have £34.33 million in cash which is available for investment.
I think you may find that we will receive a minimum of 5p final dividend if my calculations are correct.
