In QuotedData’s morning briefing 19 February 2021:
- City of London has released its interim report for the six months ended 31 December 2020. During the period, it provided an NAV total return of 6.9% and a share price total return of 12.3%. These compare against returns from its All-Share Benchmark of 12.3%, the AIC UK Equity Income Sector of 12.0% and the IA UK Equity Income OEIC sector of 11.9%. However, the Board says that it has confidence that it will be able to increase the dividend for the fifty-fifth consecutive year. The quarterly rate will be reviewed by the Board before the third interim dividend is declared in March 2021.
