RE: Will 3p dividend hold after the commitment end?27 Jun 2022 15:24
The 3p per quarter or 12p per year should hold because the latest result seem quite ok. If anything, I expect the future dividend to increase slightly going forward as the company's report said "the loan book has a short duration, allowing the Investment Company to recycle into new loans that have a yield pick up from (a) charging a higher risk premium reflecting the current environment and (b) reflecting the higher floating base rates into the loans. "
The current near 8% yield is very useful hedge against inflation. If you were lucky enough to have bought it in April for 142p you would have got some capital gain as well.
Next ex-dividend date 07/07/2022, payment date 29/07/2022.
