Investment Objective and Policy

The investment objective of the Company is to provide Ordinary shareholders with a high income and opportunity for capital growth, having provided a capital return suf?cient to repay the full ?nal capital entitlement of the Zero Dividend Preference shares issued by the wholly owned subsidiary company SDVP.

The Company's investment policy is that: ? The Company will invest in equities in order to achieve its investment objectives, which are to provide both income

and capital growth, predominantly through investment in mid and smaller capitalised UK companies admitted to the

Of?cial List of the UK Listing Authority and traded on the London Stock Exchange Main Market or traded on AIM. ? The Company will not invest in preference shares, loan stock or notes, convertible securities or ?xed interest

securities or any similar securities convertible into shares; nor will it invest in the securities of other

investment trusts or in unquoted companies. Performance Analysis using Key Performance Indicators

At each quarterly Board meeting, the Directors consider a number of key performance indicators ('KPIs') to assess the Group's success in achieving its objectives, including the net asset value ('NAV'), the dividend per share and the total ongoing charges. ? The Group's Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income is set out on page 47. ? A total dividend for the year to 30 April 2021 of 10.272p (2020: 9.60p) per Ordinary share has been declared to

shareholders by way of three payments totalling 7.50p per Ordinary share plus a planned fourth interim dividend

payment of 2.50p per Ordinary share and a special dividend of 0.272p per Ordinary share. ? The NAV per Ordinary share at 30 April 2021 was 227.07p (2020: 124.86p). ? The ongoing charges (including investment management fees and other expenses but excluding exceptional items) for

the year ended 30 April 2021 were 2.33% (2020: 2.12%). The increase in the annualised ongoing charges during the

year is primarily due to the reduction in net asset value for the ?rst half of the year due to the uncertainties

around Covid-19.

The Directors, in conjunction with the Investment Manager, also took time during the 2020-21 ?nancial year to speci?cally benchmark the Group's performance against different comparator peer groups and performance metrics to inform decision making.
