The Monks Investment Trust Announces Interim Results
The Monks Investment Trust PLC announces its results for the six months to 31 October 2011.
The net asset value total return (capital and dividends) over the six months to the end of October 2011 was minus 9.9% and the share price total return was minus 9.8%. The FTSE World Index total return figure for the same period was minus 8.8%.
Earnings per share were 3.30p (2.45p in the corresponding period a year ago). The interim dividend is 0.5p (also 0.5p in the corresponding period).
Markets were adversely affected by a number of factors including the difficulty in reaching an agreement regarding the US government debt ceiling, fears of deceleration in the rate of global growth and the Eurozone crisis.
More details on the results, including the Half-Yearly Management Report, can be found in the press release transcript at the top of this page.

Please remember that past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of your investment may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. You should regard your investment as long term.
The Trust invests in overseas securities and changes in the rates of exchange may also cause the value of your investment (and any income it may pay) to go down or up.
