MedicX Fund - Income and capital growth continuing

MedicX Fund produced a 3.9% EPRA NAV total return in the three months ended 31 December 2017, with EPRA NAV per share increasing to 78.0p from 76.5p, and including the 1.50p dividend per share paid in the period. A quarterly dividend of 1.51p per share has been approved for payment in March and the fund still targets an aggregate 6.04p payout for the year to 30 September 2018. Capital commitments continued in the period and the pipeline of acquisition opportunities remains strong. While investment advisor fees remain frozen, asset growth should have a geared impact on earnings, contributing towards increased dividend cover.
