- JPMorgan Global Core Real Assets (JARA) has announced its quarterly NAV and portfolio update. During the quarter to 30th November 2022 JARA paid a dividend of 1p per share, bringing the total return for the quarter to -3.8% and the total return for the year to 30th November 2022 to +12.6%. JARA’s recent quarterly dividend represents an annualised yield of c.42% based on the current share price, in line with the trust’s target range of 4-6%.
Across both public and private allocations, and measured in local currency, JARA’s real estate, infrastructure and transportation allocations had return contributions of -0.35%, +0.24% and +0.34%, respectively, over the three-month period, though the deprecation of USD relative to GBP negatively impacted performance.

The sale is expected to be completed around 31 January 2023.
