JPMorgan Claverhouse Investment Trust PLC - invests in income generating UK companies with a focus on those that provide consistent and growing dividends - Records that the total return on net assets was negative 12.8% in the six months to June 30, underperforming its benchmark, the FTSE All Share, which fell by 4.6%.
