SCOTTISH AMERICAN INVESTMENT COMPANY
SAINTS ’ CORE BELIEF IS THAT INCOME , GROWTH AND DEPENDABILITY MAKE A POWERFUL COMBINATION . AGAIN AND AGAIN .
SAINTS ( The Scottish American Investment Company ) was founded way back in 1873 to invest in American railways but these days aims to deliver dividend growth ahead of any rise in infl ation , mainly from a portfolio of global equities , though investments are also made in bonds and property . The Trust , which is managed by Baillie Gifford , seeks out attractive , quality companies which offer long-term growth potential rather than merely providing a high yield . SAINTS pays out a regular dividend every quarter . It has successfully grown its dividend every year for more than 35 years – over the last 10 years SAINTS has increased its dividend by 64 % compared to a 27 % rise in the Consumer Price Index .*
