Investment objectives Two portfolios: one to generate income with potential for capital appreciation (the greater part of the Company's assets); the other to achieve capital growth. Company will therefore mainly invest in the shares of other split capital investment trusts, but may also invest in listed ordinary shares, ordinary shares and warrants of investment trusts, and shares or units in closed or openended funds. The principal objective is to generate high dividend levels for both ordinary shareholders and income shareholders. Basic details Investment Management Investmt.Man.

Tax Situation Tax considerations in UK Funds may gain approval as investment trusts pursuant to Section 842 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (ICTA) provided that they are not closed companies, and the income of funds is mainly eligible investment income, provided that the funds do not retain more than 15% of the income in any accounting period. They will then be exempt from UK taxation on realised chargeable gains. Dividends received from other UK resident companies will constitute franked investment income. Income will be subject to UK corporation tax after relief for allowable expenses where it is not franked investment income or foreign income dividends received from UK resident companies. Income arising from overseas investment may be subject to withholding tax, and this may be reduced or eliminated via any double taxation treaties between the UK and the countries concerned. Special Tax considerations Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallise. Valuation Policy Listed investments are valued at midmarket prices. Trading stock investments held by the subsidiary undertaking are stated at the lower of cost and net market value.
