Japan investment opportunity JSGI trust delivers 18% dividend income growth

JPMorgan Japan Small Cap Growth & Income plc (LON:JSGI) announced their most recent dividend last week. Following the announcement, DirectorsTalk caught up with Alexa Henderson, non-executive Chairman of the Trust.

Alexa said: ‘I’m delighted to note the 5.8p interim dividend which we announced last week. That brings dividends to 22.7p for the last 12 months, an increase of over 18% compared to the previous 12 months.

Following this dividend announcement the historic dividend yield to shareholders is 4.7%. This is reflective of the dividend policy we introduced in 2018, whereby the company pays the equivalent of 1% of NAV per quarter. Importantly this is through the structural benefit of the investment trust and in no way impacts the freedom of our managers to select the very best investments they can find.’
