"Caledonia delivered 5.4% NAV returns with strong private capital performance led by Stonehage Fleming sale generating 3.2x returns. Maintained 59-year progressive dividend streak while building £415m liquidity for selective deployment."
Caledonia Investments delivered a 5.4% NAV total return for FY26 despite volatile global economic conditions, with all three investment pools contributing to growth. The £3.0bn investment company maintained its progressive dividend policy with 59 consecutive years of increases, declaring a final dividend of 4.00p per share. Key highlights included the agreed sale of Stonehage Fleming for expected proceeds of £290m, representing a 3.2x multiple on cost and 30% NAV uplift. The Public Companies portfolio saw net realizations of £0.9m with new positions in Charles Schwab, Cintas and Paychex, while Oracle was partially realized following AI-related share price appreciation. Private Capital performance was driven by Stonehage Fleming and continued strong results from AIR-serv. The company maintains significant liquidity of £415m providing flexibility for selective capital deployment. With a robust balance sheet and diversified global portfolio, Caledonia remains well-positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value through its disciplined investment approach targeting inflation +3% to +6% returns.
