Dividend day?

Dividends


We intend to pay an interim dividend of 1.75 pence per ordinary share for the
year to 31st December 2023 on

7 December 2023. This is the same level of dividend as was paid in calendar
2022. A preference dividend of 1.75 pence per preference share will be paid on
the same date.

This dividend payment represents a yield of approximately 10 percent on the
ordinary share price averaged over the first six month period of the year.

WHAT IS THE EX DIVIDEND DATE?

Dividend

We intend to pay an interim dividend of 2.7 pence per ordinary share on 10
December 2020 to shareholders on the register at 20 November 2020. This
represents an unchanged dividend from last year's interim dividend and a yield
of approximately 9 percent on the ordinary share price averaged over the
period. A preference dividend of 1.75 pence will be paid to preference
shareholders on the same date.

The dividend is not sustainable, as flagged in the Chairman's Statement. The dividends have effectively been out of capital for years. High dividend, but significant capital losses.

The spread is ten. 75p to buy but a great divi. Looks tempting.

Yes, this company is priced not to trade. Very expensive versus net assets and dividend yield is totally unsustainable. There will be a devastating loss of capital for anyone buying these shares unless the speculative pharma investments come off in a big way.

Yes, be interesting to see if they continue with the dubious dividend policy next week.

I'm amazed this went so high recently. It's betting the house on a loss making pharma business.

They may be lucky and it all comes good, but I think this is a bit of a house of cards until they get their investment strategy sorted out.

They should 1. Sell the speculative pharma business whenever they get a decent opportunity and 2. Stop destroying value through buying shares just before they go ex-dividend which is a totally stupid investment strategy and 3. Re-base the dividend as any fool can see that the dividend record is all a bit of a sham and just a return of capital.

I sold out too this year.

My reasoning was, as TopVest points out, the high (but uncovered) dividend was sucking-in income investors.

I viewed that BAF was merely taking advantage of new rules which allows investment trusts (as approved by the Inland Revenue) to pay dividends with tax credits out of capital.

A bizarre decision, in my view, as it gives a false impression of true income receipts.

As to BAF's love affair with the sniffy Geron fiasco: why, out of all the stocks in the world, did they choose that one -not only to invest in, but to make it their largest investment ?
