Interims due in February. Following the 6.5% increase in the final dividend last year it will be interesting to see whether they increase this years interim by the same ratio from 8.0p to 8.5p given the further rise in FUM since then. If they also apply the same ratio again to the final payment that would increase it from 17.0p to 18.1p which would result in an annual dividend of 26.6p for 2018. At todays price that would still provide a current yield of 6.5% and boost my current yield here to 9.0%.

Shell B shares over 6%, dividend paid every 13 weeks.

[stun12] 07/11/2017 12:58

Yep. PHNX too. Any other suggestions out there for divi plays please?

[montyhedge] 07/11/2017 11:15

A lot of investors just re-invest the dividend back into CLIG, compounding the return over the years, Einstein said compounding eight wonder of the world.

Whopping divi received. Had a few glasses of bubbly.

Yes - the steady progress is being maintained with FUM increasing by 31% over the past 18 months and the shareprice is up by 37% over the same period.

FUM $5.1bn at the end of Oct

So I assume everyones recieved their dividend by today and will be going out for an indian tonight as its half price Wednesday. I'm thinking about changing from my usual bhuna to a biryani dish as I understand it comes with rice and a vegetable side dish and a omelette thrown in for good measure. This seems better value to me.

Personally very happy with the performance of the company. Made excellent capital growth returns each time I've bought with a steady dividend stream as a bonus. Great hedge against a plummeting £!

No its not. Take a look at similar investment management outfits in other developed countries. Why is this one trading at a measly level ? It would be even worse if they were not supporting the price by a chunky return to shareholders.The only reason this is so lowly rated is that its listed and managed in from London. The UK looks like a basket case to most outsiders, rising inflation, high debt, poor productivity, at odds with Europe,a crippled political system etc.

Normal MRF garbage!CLIG offers emerging market exposure to US clients. Pretty insulated from UK underperformance I'd suggest.
