Years marked incomplete are left out of the totals below: City of London Investment Trust has payments we hold for those years but no full-year figure we can stand behind, so counting them would understate them.
What this assumes. That the number in each row is what you held when that dividend was paid, and that you did not reinvest.
Every per-share figure comes from City of London Investment Trust’s own announcements, filed under UK listing rules. This is general information, not investment advice.
