140. Bull, Bear & Beyond – The Diverse Income Trust in 60 seconds
Edison’s investment companies team recently published a review of The Diverse Income Trust. Managers Gervais Williams and Martin Turner believe that income stocks are set to become market leaders due to their steady cash returns to shareholders in an environment of nationalism and volatile asset prices. The UK looks particularly attractive as it has been devalued by persistent outflows since Brexit and within this market many small-cap equity income stocks are trading on what the managers say are ‘absurdly low valuations’. The Diverse Income Trust is a unique proposition with an income and capital growth strategy spread across the market cap spectrum. Since the trust was launched in April 2011, it has an unbroken record of higher annual dividends and has outperformed all but one of its 17 peers in the AIC UK Equity Income sector, along with its comparator indices by a wide margin.
