Diverse Income Trust plc: Over 4.5% rise in NAV and share price in December 2023

Diverse Income Trust plc (LON:DIVI) has announced its Factsheet for the month ended 31 December 2023.

Manager commentary

The ‘small company (small-cap) effect’ identifies that over the longer term the return of individual company shares are typically inversely related to their size. But during 2023, return has been dominated by the appreciation of the largest companies known as mega-caps. The seven technology mega-caps in the US for example, have on average more than doubled over 2023. Meanwhile, UK small-caps listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM exchange) on average fell modestly.

During the final quarter of 2023, the companies whose share prices rose started to include the medium (mid) sized companies. Bond prices also improved markedly as investors anticipated interest rate cuts in 2024.
