Shires Income: Manager update video

Dividends, buybacks & UK market opportunities

Watch the latest manager update video from Iain Pyle, Manager of Shires Income.

Iain discusses the shift in income strategies and the trust’s long-term performance. He highlights financials as a point of strength for the fund, particularly banks such as Lloyds and NatWest, and insurers like Conduit Re. He emphasises that the current market feels opportunity-rich, with attractive prospects in UK equities – especially companies offering strong dividend yields and long-term growth potential. Greggs is presented as a compelling case, with its recent share price weakness seen as a buying opportunity due to strategic infrastructure investments expected to drive future sales and cash flow.
