Bluefield Solar Income Fund Limited
Unaudited NAV, Third Interim Dividend and Changes to Director Roles and Responsibilities
Bluefield Solar (LON: BSIF), the London listed UK income fund focused primarily on acquiring and managing solar energy assets, announces its net asset value (“NAV“) as at 30 June 2025, the Company’s third interim dividend for the financial year which ended on 30 June 2025 and changes to its Board and Committee composition, which will take effect following the approval and signing of the Company’s Annual Report and Financial Statements (the “Annual Report“). Unless otherwise noted herein, the information provided in this announcement is unaudited.
Unaudited Net Asset Value as of 30 June 2025
The NAV as at 30 June 2025 was £697.3 million, or 117.77 pence per Ordinary Share (‘pps’), compared to the unaudited NAV of 123.01 pps as at 31 March 2025. This equates to a movement in the quarter of -4.26% and a NAV total return for the quarter of -2.47%.
Actual Generation vs Forecast
Combined generation for the period was 4.4% above forecast. Whilst solar generation had a very strong quarter (+8.4%), poor generation across the wind assets (-23.8%) led to combined generation being lower than expected. Although irradiation was above forecast (+18.3%), solar generation was dampened during the period by DNO outages, with the most material being a 2 month outage at West Raynham (50MW). Whilst wind speeds improved during the quarter (+2.2%), availability was negatively impacted by several turbine outages.
Third Interim Dividend
The Third Interim Dividend of 2.20 pence per Ordinary Share (August 2024: 2.20 pence per Ordinary Share) will be payable to Shareholders on the register as at 29 August 2025, with an associated ex-dividend date of 28 August 2025 and a payment date on or around 19 September 2025.
Dividend Guidance Reaffirmed
The Board is pleased to reaffirm its guidance of a full year dividend of not less than 8.90 pence per Ordinary Share for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: 8.80 pence). This is expected to be covered by earnings and to be post debt amortisation.
Post-Period end, the Company has also continued to recycle capital and realise value from its project development activities by disposing of one co-located solar and battery storage project. The Fund received net proceeds above holding value and details will be included in the Annual Report.
Here, dividends included in the graph but would be re-invested into the higher yielding shares in the Snowball. You would have achieved the Holy Grail of investing, that you could withdraw your stake, re-invest it back into your Snowball to earn more dividends to buy more shares.
Waiting for the next market crash, to include in the Watch List.

The complete story to date.
Total profit for the share £2,850 of which dividends are £2,464
The share had been traded before in the Snowball so the current
profit is £1,027 of which dividends are £1,748
The current value of the share, which changes daily and could fall from here is
£12,304, current expected dividends for the next twelve months
£314 x 4 = £1,256
Income from re-invested dividends £122
Total £1,378 a yield of eleven percent, which unless the dividend is cut should gently increase to allow for inflation.
With the dividends being re-invest back into the Snowball but without the income compounding, NESF could achieve the Holy Grail of Investing that in 8.7 years it could be producing income at a zero, zilch, nothing cost.
A lot of water, to flow under a lot bridges before then.
For a comfortable retirement in the UK, a single person typically needs a pension pot of around £490,000 to £790,000, according to financial firm St James’s Place. This assumes receiving the full state pension and converting private savings into an annuity.
If the above figures are out of your reach, maybe just maybe you need a dividend re-investment plan.
Remember a plan without an end destination is a very poor plan. GL
Story by Royston Wild
DIVIDEND YIELD text written on a notebook with chart
I’m planning to fund my retirement with a broad portfolio of dividend shares with high yields and strong payout histories. That way, I can realistically expect to receive a regular and growing passive income while continuing to increase the size of my pension pot.
How £500 a month in UK and overseas stocks could eventually build a passive income above £64,000.
Diversifying for strength
Whether someone is seeking growth or dividends, building a diversified basket of shares is critical for targeting long-term returns. It allows an investor’s portfolio to better absorb individual shocks. What’s more, this approach can produce a consistent return over time by balancing higher-risk cyclical shares with defensive stalwarts.
This strategy doesn’t need investors need to settle for sub-par returns either. Harry Markowitz — widely considered to be the creator of modern portfolio theory — once described diversification as “the only free lunch in investing.”
Today’s investors can choose from thousands of stocks, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from around the world. This gives each one of us the power to build a bespoke portfolio suited to our own investment goals and attitude to risk.
Let’s look at what a diversified portfolio might look like:
Past performance is no guarantee of the future. But it this continues, investing £500 a month would grow to £922,923 over 25 years.
A top ETF?
For me, funds like the iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor ETF are great ‘cheat codes’ for building a well-diversified and high-performing portfolio easily and affordably. It’s why I own several in my own portfolio.
This one holds shares in roughly 400 global companies. It provides “direct investment in global equities which are undervalued relative to their fundamentals,” like book value and predicted earnings.
This approach gives the fund strong growth potential by targeting quality companies priced below their intrinsic value. Key holdings include Qualcomm and Intel, for instance, trading at a substantial discount to industry leader Nvidia and which could theoretically deliver greater long-term share price growth.
Its high weighting of tech stocks could make the ETF more vulnerable during downturns. But I still believe it’s a great fund to consider as part of a diversified portfolio.

| Arkwookerum 6t4q8.mssg.mex joleenmorehouse19@shrug.muzaco.com 103.197.169.23 | I think that everything said was very logical. But, what about this? what if you were to create a killer headline? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean IF – Passive Income is a little vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting. https://6t4q8.mssg.me/ |
Investing one’s hard earned to make your retirement comfortable is serious and not to be approached lightly. The headlines are provided as way for readers of the Snowball to carry out their own research.
It appears other people have decided to add to their long term portfolio.
