City of London Investment Trust Plc is a closed-ended investment company established in 1891, dedicated to delivering long-term growth in income and capital through a diversified portfolio primarily invested in equities listed on the London Stock Exchange. Its core objective emphasizes steady dividend income alongside capital appreciation, achieved by selecting established UK companies renowned for reliable payouts, such as HSBC Holdings, Shell, NatWest Group, and British American Tobacco, which comprise a significant portion of its top holdings. The trust allocates heavily to sectors like financial services (around 35%), consumer defensive (19%), and energy (7-8%), with over 96% exposure to the United Kingdom and minor international diversification. Managed by Janus Henderson Investors, it boasts an unmatched 59-year record of consecutive annual dividend increases, quarterly payments, and a low ongoing charge of 0.36%. With total assets exceeding £2.9 billion and a focus on cash-generative businesses, City of London Investment Trust Plc serves as a cornerstone for investors seeking exposure to the UK equity income market, benchmarking against the FTSE All-Share Index.Show lessShow more
