Investment summary

Recognising the importance of dividend income in the current market environment, Henderson Global Trust Plc (HGL) has grown its total dividend by 20% for the year ended 31 January 2012. Tactically, the portfolio has been relatively defensively positioned, and while HGL’s performance was ahead of its benchmark at the interim stage, the defensive stance saw HGL lag the market during the rally at the end of 2011. As a result, for the year ended 31 January, HGL has, in total return terms, reported an NAV fall of 2.5% vs a benchmark fall of 0.7%.
