MedicX Fund - Positioning for continuing growth

H118 results from MedicX Fund saw continued portfolio and rental growth, with costs well controlled. The positive results were accompanied by a new dividend policy, which will rebalance total returns partly away from dividends paid and more towards capital growth. From FY19 it targets a lower, fully covered DPS, conserving cash flow and providing greater flexibility to sustainably fund further accretive asset growth. The FY19 prospective dividend yield of c 5% remains attractive and the shares are priced at a c 10% P/NAV discount to peers.
