  • Payout ratio does not applyThis is a fund. It distributes income received from its holdings rather than paying out of its own earnings, so a payout ratio is not a meaningful measure.
  • Dividend has been cut 3 timesAcross 9 complete years, the annual total fell in 2019, 2020, 2025. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
