Company Information: The Merchants Trust PLC – Focused on dividends so you can focus on life. Merchants invests in a diversified portfolio of large, well-established and well-known UK-listed companies. These companies are able to grow their sales over time or cut costs in order to preserve or improve their profit margins. This enables them, in general, to maintain and increase their dividends over time. Many of the companies listed on the London Stock Exchange are truly international in nature, including some of the world’s largest and best known multinationals. This provides Merchants shareholders with exposure to global end markets whilst benefiting from the UK’s leading corporate governance standards.
