Dividend Declaration



The Board of Personal Assets Trust plc has today declared a first interim
dividend for the year ended 30 April 2007 of £2.00 per share. The dividend will
be paid on 27 October 2006 to shareholders on the register on 6 October 2006.
The ex-dividend date will be 4 October 2006.



The Board's stated dividend policy is to increase the present dividend rate at
least in line with inflation and never cut the dividend rate, so shareholders
know that each half-yearly payment will at least equal the previous one.
Therefore, the second interim dividend for the year ended 30 April 2007,
expected to be paid in April 2007, will be at least £2.00 per share and the
total dividend for the year will be not less than £4.00.
