Session Program
This panel session will explore the structural features of LIVs (LICs & LITs) and how the stability of the capital base that comes from a listed investment company structure with the company’s ability to retain income and smooth dividends are important elements for investors and their advisers. It will also examine the range of asset classes and strategies held within the structure and how portfolios across a range of assets and strategies can be structured.

Key discussion points will include:

  • How the closed-end LIV structure provides investment stability and enhances long-term performance.
  • The ability of listed investment companies to retain earnings, delivering smoother, more predictable dividends for investors.
  • The breadth of asset classes and strategies available within LIVs and how they can be structured to optimise portfolio performance.
