You decided to buy at 300p and the plan was to hold thru thick and thin, there will always be plenty of thin and simply re-invest the dividends back into the Trust.

If you had invested 5k you share would be worth 35k, remember to allow for inflation.

If you bought at 300p the dividend was 11p a yield of around 4%.

The current dividend is 29.10p a buying yield of nearly 10%.
