Gresham House Income & Growth VCT PLC - venture capital trust that aims to provide a steady stream of tax-free dividends from its investment portfolio's income and capital gains - Declares 2.25 pence second interim dividend, down from the 2.50p paid last year and as a first interim dividend this year. The resulting full-year payout for financial 2026, which ends on September 30, of 4.75p is down 5.0% from 5.00p in financial 2025.
