Murray dividends
Murray Income Trust pays dividends four times a year, giving shareholders the choice to take a regular income or reinvest it for future potential growth.
The trust invests in a diversified portfolio of companies and uses the income it receives from them to support its quarterly dividends to investors. The payment of any dividend, and its level, is not guaranteed. However, the trust can retain a portion of income in good years to help support payments when the dividends paid by its holdings are lower.

Being named a Dividend Hero by the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) is a powerful sign of dividend resilience, recognising investment trusts that have delivered rising shareholder income for 20 or more consecutive years.
The trust has grown its annual dividend for 53 consecutive years, as at 30 June 2026. Although the payment of any dividend and its level cannot be guaranteed, the trust's board and the Artemis investment team are committed to maintaining the Dividend Hero status.

Year after year of dividend growth
The trust's track record of increasing the annual dividend for more than fifty years has been achieved through changing markets, economic cycles and periods of uncertainty.
Past performance is not a guide to the future; the payment of any dividend and its level is not guaranteed.
