Henderson High Income Trust PLC (LSE:HHI) has delivered a strong set of unaudited results for the six months ending June 30, 2025. The trust reported a net asset value (NAV) total return of 11.9%, surpassing its benchmark by 3.9%. Its share price achieved an even greater total return of 14.4%, supported by a narrowing discount to NAV. The portfolio remains primarily invested in equities, with gearing reduced slightly to 18%. Despite ongoing global economic uncertainty, the trust continues to generate attractive income for investors, underpinned by healthy corporate earnings and steady dividend growth, particularly from UK banking stocks.
The trust’s overall investment profile is strengthened by its consistent financial results and stable valuation. Strategic measures such as share repurchase programs and lower management fees have reinforced confidence in future performance. That said, technical indicators point to short-term caution, with the shares currently trading under their near-term moving averages.
