London Stock Exchange Announcement
JPMorgan Global Growth & Income plc (the 'Company')
Dividend for the year to 30th June 2027
Legal Entity Identifier: 5493007C3I0O5PJKR078
Information disclosed in accordance with DTR 6.1.13
The Board is pleased to announce that it intends to pay dividends totalling 24.80 pence per share (6.20 pence per share per quarter) in relation to its financial year commencing 1st July 2026. This is in line with its policy of paying at least 4.0% of the Company's net asset value as at 30th June 2026 and represents an increase of 7.8% on the last financial year's total dividend of 23.0 pence per share.
It is expected that the dividends will be paid by way of four equal distributions, with the first interim dividend for the financial year ending 30th June 2027 of 6.20 pence per share (for the period to 30th September 2026), being paid on 9th October 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 28th August 2026. The ex-dividend date will be 27th August 2026.
The three other dividends are expected to be paid in December 2026, April 2027 and June 2027.
James Macpherson, Chairman, commented:
Since adopting our enhanced dividend policy in 2016, dividends paid to shareholders have increased by 675%, equivalent to almost 23% per annum. The Board recognises the importance of the dividend both to our investors and the Company's long-term success. However, it should be noted that the Company does not have a progressive dividend policy.
The Board has decided to set a dividend of 24.8 pence per share for the 2027 financial year. This represents a year-on-year increase of 7.8% and equates to just over 4% of the Company's NAV as at 30th June 2026.
Our ability to partially fund dividends from substantial distributable reserves-close to £2.3 billion, or 409.3 pence per share, as at 31st December 2025-supports our shareholders' desire for income and provides clarity on dividend payments for the coming year. Importantly, this approach does not constrain our portfolio managers, who can focus on maximising total returns for shareholders.
As a reminder, the Company offers the option for shareholders to invest their dividend in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ('DRIP'), which is managed by the Company's registrar. For details on the DRIP, please contact the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services.
