Will Wyatt, Chief Executive, commented:

"Caledonia has delivered another good overall performance with a total return of 4.6% over the six months, resulting in our net assets approaching £1.5bn. Accordingly, we have increased the interim dividend by 3.0% to 13.8p. Whilst global markets remain uncertain, we are confident our long term investment strategy will continue to offer attractive returns for our shareholders."
