In regards to fool's dividend insight, according to Duke's policy we should be getting a big rise in divi soon as their dividend policy state between 7-8 percent so new investor will get growth and divi. What's not to like
" Dividend Policy
Following Shareholders' approval of the new Investing Policy in June 2015, Duke's focus has been on bringing royalty investing to the European market with the objective of generating predictable and stable cash flows from royalty agreements with a view of paying an attractive, growing and sustainable cash dividend yield for Shareholders.
Although the Company has never paid a dividend, it is the Directors' intention to start paying dividends in the financial year ending 31 March 2018 and that the Company will, in normal circumstances, pay out approximately 80 - 100 per cent. of its free cash flow to its shareholder in the form of dividends. With the proceeds of the Fundraising, the Company is targeting an annualised dividend yield of between 7 and 8 per cent. once fully invested with a minimum targeted dividend yield of at least 5 per cent in the financial year to 31 March 2018*. It is intended that, any dividend paid by the Company will be paid on a quarterly basis on or around, the end of each calendar quarter.
* This is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that the target can or will be met in this timescale or at all and should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected or actual future results. Accordingly, potential investors should not place any reliance on this target in deciding whether or not to invest in the Company or assume that the Company will make any distributions at all and should decide for themselves whether or not the target dividend yield is reasonable or achievable"
