Dividend Policy
Our policy is to deliver a sustainable dividend at a level that is resilient in times of stress and is covered by capital and cash generated from our businesses. We expect to grow the cash cost of the dividend by a mid-single digit percentage each year. We also expect to make regular and sustainable returns of capital which will further uplift the dividend per share above the mid-single digit cash cost growth.
