Train sets for grown-ups [Members]

Buying into the infrastructure story via the specialist investment trusts trading in London has been like being a fan of a now-aging boy band, or an early devotee of a cancelled children’s author.

Not long ago your investments were top of the pops. Every infrastructure trust was a hit, and they loved you back with rising share prices and higher dividends.

Thanks for the thoughts. I was a recent shareholder in BBGI and sad to see it go. I also own some HICL.
Most of the dividend paid by HICL is now an interest payment, and the balance a dividend. I think once upon a time it was all/mostly dividend. The tax treatment of each is different, and particularly so if held in a corporate. Do you have any insight as to how the split is driven, and what it may be in future? Thanks.
