Ex-dividend today. Approximately 75p gross and 60p net less 20% WHT.

No didn’t bother as no real point with the volumes I would have bought. Plenty of good IT’s with big discounts around so I struggle to see why this is as loved as it is right now.

Hello I have not invested in one of these ETFs before, is there any US withholding tax on these dividends? On my US listed shares I pay 15% after filling out the w8 ben form, thanks.

I think he means holding RIO shares is not something to think or worry about, not that holders have no brains :)

From 2016 to May 2019 the share price was up about 80% at it's peak. The rot really set in in 2022.

Usual disappointment. One or two positives, but it is swimming against a tide of factors outside of its control mainly people have not got the money to invest right now hence higher outflows and muted inflows.

Dividend declared at $0.70

$1.6 Billion fourth quarter hedging loss, adjusted earnings $2.53 per share, consensus was $3.46

Hold on to your hats !

Well up after hours on the earnings report so will boost SMT NAV a little bit.

All we have is hope.. performance this month has been abysmal. Looks like rates will not be coming down as soon as hoped.

Aye, I know just a wee tongue in cheek comment. A lot of my other investment trusts are running on historically whopping discounts as well and they are not stuffed full of dross either. Right now I can sit tight and just hope one day the discounts will close as I am sat on many thousands in unrealised market value if discounts return to 'normal' .

Excellent. We can now sell our shares for only a whole pound lower than fair value. Rejoice!

I have some low dividend shares that a re a far bigger lag than L&G such as Scottish Mortgage and Prudential !

Three full years of stagnant dividends now, not very inspiring.

Well let’s see what tomorrows results bring, could be another colossal dump in the share price.

I agree, if I want a bit of entertainment I just read through the LLOY board and that share hasn't gone anywhere except down since the financial crisis of 2008/9 !

Regarding PLUS a lot of the IPO investors have probably moved on long ago. I first bought in 2017 in the £4 range but sold most of those at £12.50 and lower after it's huge fall. Been back in since the £7-8 days which was not that long ago really. Severe ups and downs with this share but most agree we are not trading at fair value considering the cash balance and profitability. I guess we just have to accept it or move on. Much has already been said really.

Yes, I was not expecting this at all after recent positive momentum and good updates from plus and cmc. New guy will have his hands full for sure.

No time for coal prices to rise to affect the next dividend. Looking at the last update and FOB costs including royalties current coal prices for SA leave little profit and Ensham in Aus is about breaking even. If things stay as they are then it will be very thin gruel going forwards.

Hang seng down 10% since the start of the year and pru down 12%. Ugly indeed. Happy new year haha ! what a load of cobblers, it never is.

Another huge dump for Burberry again! As of the last factsheet it represents 6.3% of the trust. Thinking of just dumping this trust now or is it worth hanging on till the AGM on23rd Jan to see what happens, I guess nothing material will change anyway.

Yes ok I know it has a yield but it's so insignificant it is not worth bothering with.
