CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
In this, my first letter as your Chairman, I am pleased to report another year of successful performance across the Company's investment portfolio. Our strong financial returns mean that the Company has again met its target full-year dividend of 7.00 pence per share (2017: 6.82 pence per share), representing an annualised increase of 2.6%. This is in line with our well-established,long-term expectations for annual dividend growth of approximately 2.5%. This helps bring our total shareholder return to 171.8%, or 8.6% on an annualised basis since the Company's inception.
Owing to the robustness and forward-visibility of the cash flows generated by the underlying assets in which the Company invests, the Board has reaffirmed its dividend target for 2019 of 7.18 pence per share and has provided additional guidance of 7.36 pence per share for the year ending 31 December 2020. We maintain our strong inflation linkage, such that for a 1.00% sustained increase in the assumed inflation rate, the Company would expect to generate a 0.82% increase in portfolio return.
The Investment Adviser's active approach to asset management and origination of new investment opportunities has helped to realise the
