Reserves that could be used to support the trust’s dividend during the pandemic were behind our decision a year ago to add JP Morgan Claverhouse to our Income Portfolio at the expense of Invesco Income Growth. Its annual report, published last month, gave us an update on the state of those reserves.
The trust said that, following payment of the fourth quarterly dividend, its reserves would amount to £15.8m or 27.1p per share. This compared with £19.6m or 34.4p a share in 2019.
The total dividend for 2020 was 29.5p, up from 29p, as we have reported previously. So the current reserves would be enough to pay 92pc of the next annual dividend if it was left unchanged.

Terry Smith s knockout payday caps journey from East End underdog to City champ
In just over a decade since the Square Mile boss launched his Ryanair of asset management flagship fund it has become Britain’s largest

Terry Smith, one of Britain s best-known fund managers, has bagged a bumper payday of up to £125m after a record profit at his investment firm.
The entrepreneur s business Fundsmith generated profits of £48.5m in the year to March 2020, up from £26.4m the year before - entitling the fund manager to £29.7m, a 61pc share.
Ballooning payments from the British business to its Mauritius outpost mean that Smith, a resident of the Indian Ocean island, could have received a far higher figure even than this. Mauritius-based Fundsmith Investment Services Limited charged the business £158m during the year, up from £116m over the previous 12 months.
