Director dealings: Independent Investment Trust chairman lowers stake
(WebFG News) - Douglas McDougall, chairman of the Edinburgh-based Independent Investment Trust, disposed of 25,000 ordinary shares in the firm on Monday, collecting £185,000 in the process.
McDougall, who was a partner in Baillie Gifford and Co from 1969 until his retirement in 1999, let go of the shares at a cost of 172p each.
In its most recent trading year, Independent Investment Trust generated a net asset value total return of 54.8%, a performance the company said was, by some margin, the "best annual result in the history of the Independent".
Earnings per share for the year were 9.2p, up from the 7.93p it posted a year prior, leading the group to recommend a final dividend of 4p per share given the "buoyancy" of its revenue account and an "encouraging outlook".
As of 1420 BST, shares had ticked up 0.55% to 747.12p.
