Re: Dividend It could be as simple as the Board Meeting being a week late owing to a clash of holidays etc. or other events that were known when the schedule of Board Meetings was arranged (probably a year or so ago)If nothing else, nice to see that your response was written by someone who cared!

Re: Dividend I wrote to GCP, this was the reply:Hi MikeNo reason for concern, we announce after the Board of the Company have met to decide the next dividend, which they are due to do shortly. Once they have confirmed their decision, it will be widely publicised and is always announced through the regulatory news service of the London Stock Exchange, where you will be able.to see it.All the bestWilliam MacLeod

Re: Dividend You have not missed any announcement. That said, I cannot see why they are later than usual in its announcement. Of the past 22 dividend announcements, the latest date in any relevant month to announce has been the 22nd. And here we are at the 25th July so earliest will be 26th!Nearly all previous announcements have been in the middle of the month.

The Times.....Business Section Straight From a Reliable Source - The Times, Business Markets Section.For investors seeking an even more reliable investment, there is GCP Infrastructure Investments.This provides debt to projrcts that have the support of the public sector. This means that in the wildly unlikely event that a project gets into trouble GCP ranks ahead of equity owners in getting their money back.The debt that GCP Infrastructure holds in PPP or PFI projects, clean energy & increasingly in social housing returns 8.7 per cent. Out of this, the fund pays dividends that, at present price, provide a 6 per cent yield.Investors are asked each year to approve a programme of placings that will fund future investment, £260 million or so in the current year. This is efficient because shares can be issued as the money is needed, rather than in one go, which produces 'cash drag' - poor returns from keeping it in the bank.Yesterday the first £50 million was issued from the present programme.The shares at £126p, have kept pace with those other infrastructure funds. For the ultra-cautious investors, GCP is as good as it gets.

Re: I'm in I bought in today at 115.5p which yields 6.58%. Good to read the notice that the latest government tinkering on lecs has minimal impact on the renewable loans in the portfolio.I may buy some more if it gets a bit closer to nav, trading at quite a wide premium which will close a bit when rates start to rise.

Re: I'm in ...I meant discount relative to the average 12 month premium of 11.98% according to HL. Nearer 10% premium today at my purchase price on a NAV of 104.32.Clear as mud I am!Dividend of 7.6p works out at a TTM yield of 6.62% average.First tranches today and will buy more if the price falls.
