Maybe? I sold some because of other opportunities elsewhere and because of a change in my tax status next year wanting to move dividend payers (not REITs of course) out of ISAs. I personally couldn't care less about the dividend itself, much more interested in the total return vs volatility vs NAV. If I had a dollar basis I would be cashing out now as Sterling has very likely topped out.

I guess we may not learn the level of the next four quarterly dividends until mid-May. See the historical RNS of 15.05.20 wherein the company confirmed that the next 4 would be at the same 3p level – e.g. up to and including the one that has recently gone ex-div.

Some big sales in RECI this week, which may suggest some of the larger holders may know/suspect that a dividend reduction is very possible.

Liberum;
Strong income generation

Mkt Cap £314m | Prem/(disc) -7.9% | Div yield 8.8%

Event

Real Estate Credit Investments' NAV per share at 28 February 2021 was 151.8p, representing a NAV total return of 0.8% in the month. NAV performance was driven by interest income across the portfolio.

RECI agreed a new £18.5m commitment (out of a total deal commitment of £64m) to a senior development loan to fund the development of a 141-room hotel in the Algarve. The LTV on the loan is 56% and the expected return is in excess of 10% pa. Development completion is expected in June 2022. To date, RECI has funded £0.4m of its commitment. Other investment activity in the month included £3.2m to fund existing commitments and £5.4m to acquire two new listed bonds. The £388m portfolio is diversified across 61 positions with a weighted average LTV of 64.8%.

Gross and net leverage have increased slightly to 22.8% and 14.1% of NAV as a result of the new investments.

Liberum view

RECI's portfolio continues to generate an attractive level of income. The company's NAV total return over the last six months is 6.2% as the portfolio has also benefited from mark-to-market gains in the bond portfolio. The significant level of repayment activity in the second half of 2020 has enabled RECI to redeploy capital into senior loan investments with attractive risk/return characteristics. The average 65% LTV across the portfolio offers substantial downside protection against weakness in valuations. We regard the 8% discount to NAV and 8.8% dividend yield as highly compelling given the fund’s long-term track record, defensive positioning and potential NAV upside from re-rating opportunities in the bond portfolio.

The reassuring sound of dividend heading towards investment account.

[skyship] 21/2/2021 08:06

A good buy on any easing as these look to be heading into the 150s by the end of next month. At 155p the yield would still be 7.7%.
