Business
Finsbury Growth & Income Trust PLC is a closed-end investment company listed on the London Stock Exchange that invests principally in the securities of UK quoted companies to achieve capital and income growth for shareholders, aiming to deliver a total return exceeding that of the FTSE All-Share Index; it maintains a concentrated portfolio of approximately 20 to 30 high-quality, cash-generative equities with low turnover, an above-market dividend yield, and sector allocations including industrials (around 29%), consumer defensive (around 24%), financial services (around 17%), communications services (around 13%), and technology (around 12%); top holdings typically feature London Stock Exchange Group PLC, Diageo PLC, RELX PLC, Rightmove PLC, Unilever PLC, Experian PLC, Sage Group PLC, Burberry Group PLC, Schroders PLC, and Intertek Group PLC, with nearly all assets (over 97%) in UK-domiciled or listed companies and minor exposure to unquoted investments like Frostrow Capital LLP; the trust employs modest gearing of up to 25% of net assets (recently around 1.7-2%) and limits overseas holdings to under 20% of the portfolio. Founded in 1926 as the Scottish Cities Investment Trust and headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, the company is managed by Lindsell Train Limited as portfolio manager and Frostrow Capital LLP as alternative investment fund manager (AIFM). In recent developments, the trust reported net asset value per share total return of -0.1% for the year ended 30 September 2025 amid underperformance relative to its benchmark, prompting a first-ever continuation vote at its January 2026 annual general meeting alongside its centenary celebrations; it increased total dividends per share to 20.2 pence from 19.6 pence via two interim payments, amended fee arrangements with its AIFM and portfolio manager effective post-year-end, repurchased tens of millions of its own shares into treasury (including over 34 million during the year and ongoing buybacks at around 5% discount to NAV), and saw portfolio manager Nick Train and directors acquire additional shares to demonstrate commitment; the board continues share buybacks near a 5% discount threshold, maintains an ongoing charges ratio of 0.62%, and expresses confidence in long-term strategy focusing on durable brands and data-driven growth companies like RELX and LSEG amid market challenges.
