Investment summary
Securities Trust of Scotland (STS) is an income trust that pays quarterly dividends and currently offers a 4.1% yield. Following shareholder approval at the July AGM, the investment mandate was changed so that STS now invests in high-yield global (previously UK) equities. To reflect this change the benchmark has been changed to the MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index (previously FTSE All-Share) and Alan Porter was appointed portfolio manager from 1 August 2011. During the past 12 months STS has outperformed its blended benchmark, by 8.4% and 1.3% in terms of share price and NAV total return, respectively.
