The Company's dividend policy is that the annual rate of growth in dividends per share should be greater than inflation as measured by the UK Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). While growth in income cannot be guaranteed, Witan Investment Trust has grown the dividend it pays to investors each year for 46 years but please be aware that past performance is not a guide to future performance and see here for a history of Witan’s performance.

From 01.01.2017 to 31.12.2019 the benchmark was 30% UK, 25% North America, 20% Asia Pacific, 20% Europe (ex UK), 5% Emerging Markets. From 01.10.2007 to 31.12.2016 the benchmark was 40% UK, 20% North America, 20% Europe (ex UK) and 20% Asia Pacific. The benchmark changes since 2007 reflect a shift from the UK in favour a more international strategic asset allocation, together with an index simplification from 2020.

The effect of the share split is that shareholders now own five shares in place of every share they held prior to the split. This makes no difference to the value of shareholdings as the share price, net asset value per share and dividend per share are now a fifth of the level prevailing the day before the split. For example, shareholders who owned 1,000 shares before the split now own 5,000 shares and the price of each share which, as at 31 May 2019, was 205p equates to a pre-split price of 1025p, representing in both cases a value of £10,250.
