The weak pound boosted oil, beverages, pharma, banks and mining earnings and dividends in 2016, further gains in 2017

Headline dividends set to hit £84.7bn this year, up 6.6% reflecting huge exchange rate gains and strong specials

Specials will top £6bn in 2016; more than double the 2015 level

Underlying dividends will be £78.6bn, an increase of 2.7% year on year

However, dividend growth at company level is disappointing and without the devaluation of the pound underlying

dividends would have fallen

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up

and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The views and opinions contained herein are those of Sue Noffke, UK Equities Fund Manager, and may not necessarily represent views expressed or reflected in

This presentation is intended to be for information purposes only and it is not intended as promotional material in any respect. The material is not intended as an

offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. The material is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, accounting, legal or

Portfolios which invest in a smaller number of stocks carry more risk than funds spread across a larger number of companies. The Company will invest solely in the

companies of one country or region. This can carry more risk than investments spread over a number of countries or regions. As a result of the fees being charged

partially to capital, the distributable income of the fund may be higher, but the capital value of the fund may be eroded. The Company may borrow money to invest in

further investments, this is known as gearing. Gearing will increase returns if the value of the investments purchased increase in value by more than the cost of

borrowing, or reduce returns if they fail to do so.

Forecast risk warning: The forecasts included in this document should not be relied upon, are not guaranteed and are provided only as at the date of issue. Our

forecasts are based on our own assumptions which may change. We accept no responsibility for any errors of fact or opinion and assume no obligation to provide

you with any changes to our assumptions or forecasts. Forecasts and assumptions may be affected by external economic or other factors.
