The current portfolio was started on the 9/09/2022.
The minimum buying yield was 5% but as Investment Trust prices have fallen the yields have risen, so the new target is 7%.
After ten years the plan was to receive income of £13,790 pa.
IF next year’s target of 10k is met it will equal the plan’s figure for 2028.
The actual income for the plan could be around 15k pa, this is not a fcast or a target, yet.

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated !

Assura plc
Trading update for the first half ended 30 September 2024
Assura plc (“Assura”), the diversified healthcare REIT, today announces its Trading Update for the six months to 30 September 2024.
Jonathan Murphy, CEO, said:
“We have made strong strategic progress in the first half of the year. The £500 million acquisition in August of a private hospital portfolio accelerates the delivery of our broader healthcare strategy while our £250 million joint venture with USS diversifies our funding. We are also very pleased to have been certified as the first FTSE 250 B Corp recognising our high standards of social and environmental performance.
“The purchase of 14 UK private hospitals materially increases our exposure to the structurally supported private healthcare market as we continue to diversify our offering to meet changing UK healthcare demands. The joint venture with USS, the UK’s leading private pension scheme, provides a new source of funding and opportunities to recycle capital into our growth pipeline.
“The need for investment in healthcare infrastructure was starkly outlined by the recent Lord Darzi report – which found the primary care estate to be plainly not fit for purpose and more than 1 million people to be waiting for community services. We are at an inflexion point in the UK, with structural changes to the delivery of healthcare services, the Government targeting preventative services in a community setting, and rising demand for private providers. Assura has firmly positioned itself to facilitate this change, being well-placed to work with all healthcare providers to deliver high-quality, sustainable facilities for the long-term..”
Delivery against our strategic objectives
• Portfolio of 14 private hospitals acquired for £500 million: day 1 rental income of £29.4 million, WAULT of 26 years, 100% subject to annual index-linked rent reviews, let to tier 1 private healthcare providers with strong rent cover of 2.3 times
• Portfolio now stands at 625 properties with an annualised rent roll of £179.1 million (March 2024: £150.6 million)
• Three developments completed with a total combined spend of £46 million; GP surgery in Shirley, ambulance hub at Bury St Edmunds and our largest in-house development project to date of the Northumbria Health & Care Academy at Cramlington
• Positive progress on rent reviews, 129 settled in the first half, covering £20.4 million of existing rent and generating an uplift of £1.7 million (8.2% uplift on previous passing rent, 3.0% on an annualised basis)
• Initial tranche of seven assets agreed for transfer to joint venture with USS
• Completed seven asset enhancement capital projects (total spend £3.0 million) and seven lease regears (existing rent £0.6 million); on site with a further four capital projects (total spend £5.6 million)
• Quarterly dividend increased by 2.4% to 0.84 pence per share, as announced at the full year results, with effect from the July 2024 payment
Pipeline of opportunities for strategic expansion and further growth
• Advanced discussions taking place for the disposal of 12 assets
• Currently on site with five developments; total cost of £44 million with £27 million remaining to be spent. On site schemes include two net zero carbon buildings in the UK (one GP medical centre, one NHS children’s therapy centre) and three developments for the HSE in Ireland.
• Pipeline of 14 capital asset enhancement projects (projected spend £8.8 million) over the next two years
• 32 lease re-gears covering £3.9 million of existing rent roll in the current pipeline
Strong and sustainable financial position
• Weighted average interest rate 3.0% (March 2024: 2.3%); all drawn debt on fixed rate basis
• Weighted average debt maturity of 5.1 years, limited refinancing on drawn debt over the next 3 years. Over 40% of drawn debt matures beyond 2030, with our longest maturity debt at our lowest rates
• A- rating reaffirmed by Fitch in August following private hospital portfolio acquisition
• Net debt of £1,575 million (March 2024: £1,217 million) on a fully unsecured basis with cash and undrawn facilities of £143 million
Full results for the six months ended 30 September 2024 will be announced on 14 November 2024.
3 super-safe dividend shares I’d buy to target a £1,380 passive income!
By Royston Wild

Dividends from UK shares are never, ever guaranteed. As we saw during the Covid-19 crisis, even the most generous and financially secure company can postpone, suspend, or axe shareholder payouts when catastrophes happen.
But as investors, we can take steps to minimise the chances of dividend disappointment. Choosing defensive companies that enjoy stable earnings (like utilities, healthcare providers, and food manufacturers) is one tactic.
So is selecting companies with strong balance sheets, market-leading positions, and diversified revenue streams. This can protect earnings when economic conditions suddenly worsen.
It’s also important to spread one’s capital across a variety of different shares. Such diversification reduces the impact of company and industry-specific factors on investors’ returns.
With all this in mind, here are three super-safe dividend shares on my watchlist today.
As I say, dividends are never a sure thing, and broker projections can sometimes fall short. But if current forecast are correct, a £20,000 investment spread equally across these dividend shares would provide a passive income of £1,380 this year alone.

Out of this bunch, let’s take a deep dive into Assura first. As the chart above shows, this FTSE 250 company has a long history of dividend growth even during times of crisis.
City analysts expect this proud record to continue, too, even as the threat from high interest rates remains.

As a result, the firm’s dividend yields lift to 8.5% for next year, and to 8.6% the year after.
Elevated interest rates depress net asset values (NAVs) for property stocks and can significantly raise their borrowing costs. But the defensive nature of Assura’s operations — it owns and lets out primary healthcare properties, like doctor surgeries — allows it to pay a large and growing dividend each year.
The real estate investment trust (REIT) is expanding rapidly, to help it grow earnings beyond the medium term. But sector rules mean that this expensive programme doesn’t have catastrophic implications for dividends.
Under REIT regulations, Assura must pay a minimum 90% of annual rental profits out in the form of dividends. Combined, these factors make the business a rock-solid income pick in my book.

Combined with Legal & General and Diageo in a portfolio, I think I could enjoy a truly spectacular dividend for years to come. As you can see, these two stocks also have long histories of sustained payout growth.
But the FTSE 100 firm’s balance sheet has still allowed it to regularly grow dividends over the past decade. And with a Solvency II capital ratio of 223%, it remains cash rich today.
Diageo, meanwhile, is another reliable dividend stock thanks to its strong position in the largely resilient alcoholic drinks market. While it faces extreme competitive pressures, fashionable labels like Guinness and Captain Morgan help to lessen this threat.
I also like the Footsie firm’s wide diversification across different geographies and drinks segments. This provides earnings (and thus dividends) with added stability.

The Snowball only invests in Investment Trusts as most Trusts have reserves they can use to continue to pay their dividends, as during the Covid crisis.
The number of investment companies trading at 52-week high discounts has risen to 12 but which region contributed the most names week ended Friday 4 October.
By Frank Buhagiar
We estimate there to be 12 investment companies that saw their share prices trade at 52-week high discounts over the course of the week ended Friday 04 October 2024 – three more than the previous week’s nine.
Last week, it was Japan-focused funds that contributed the most names to our list of year-high discounters. One week on, not a Japan-focused trust in sight. Instead, three funds that invest in the Asia Pacific Region – Fidelity Asian Values (FAS), JPMorgan Asia Growth & Income (JAGI) and Schroder Oriental Income (SOI). Four if you include JPMorgan Emerging Markets (JMG) – as at 31 July 2024, the fund had near enough three-quarters invested in Asia.
No results out from any of the four, but a look at the share price graphs for each trust shows that they all set new year-high discounts in the first few days of the week – hence their appearance on this week’s list. By Friday 4 October, however, all four shares had staged a recovery. Something of a mystery then. But could it be down to Chinese markets being closed for Golden Week? Fair to say, prior to the holiday, Chinese markets had been on a tear in response to a series of measures announced by the authorities to support the economy – China’s CSI 300 blue-chip index rallied more than 25% over the nine days running up to the holiday week.
With China being closed for the week, other markets such as India became the main performance drivers. Shame then that India didn’t have a good week – the BSE Sensex Index was off 5%. Elsewhere, Singapore’s STI index was basically flat (+0.44%) while South Korea’s KOSPI was down 4% or so. Without China to turbocharge performance, no surprise then that all four funds succumbed to a little profit-taking early on in the week. After all, the shares of the four were up strongly the week before – JAGI, the stand out with a +7.5% gain week ended 27 September.
But what about the recovery they all enjoyed towards the end of the week? Well, this could be down to investors positioning themselves for the big China reopening in anticipation of Chinese markets picking up where they left off. Question is, will they?
