Dividends

We operate a variable dividend policy which targets an annual dividend yield of around 5% of the prevailing net asset value, paid bi-annually.

The Albion VCTs operate Dividend Re-investment Schemes. Investors who would prefer a capital growth option can re-invest their dividends to obtain more shares in the VCTs.

Any amounts reinvested are eligible for income tax relief of 30%, subject to the investor’s tax position.

Investors wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should read the dividend reinvestment schemes T&C below.

Shareholders who are in the dividend reinvestment scheme but want to receive dividend as cash can amend their income option via Investor Centre.

Shareholders can also amend their income option by completing a Payment of Interest form, found below, and send directly to Computershare.

If the shareholder choses to amend their income option via the Payment of Interest form, Computershare will also require a written confirmation from the shareholder to be fully removed from the scheme
