Sustainable high yield

Within the universe of UK equity income investment trusts, Shires Income (SHRS) stands out from the herd. It sets out to offer investors a meaningfully higher dividend yield than UK equity markets and aims to make this sustainable by diversifying the fund’s sources of income. SHRS also makes use of the flexibility afforded by its closed-end structure to increase its income by using borrowings in a pragmatic fashion. (No opinion)
