Edison Releases Positive Outlook on The Diverse Income Trust

On October 21, 2025, Edison Investment Research Limited released a report on The Diverse Income Trust (DIVI), led by managers Gervais Williams and Martin Turner from Premier Miton Investors. The managers are optimistic about equity income stocks gaining favor as market leadership in US large-cap technology stocks wanes. They argue that in a volatile, nationalistic market, the steady cash flow from equity income stocks is advantageous. This trend is expected to boost the UK stock market, which features many devalued equity income stocks, especially after Brexit. Williams and Turner are notably bullish on UK small-cap equity income stocks, expecting a market super cycle that may enhance DIVI's performance long-term.
