Events in year
InterContinental made yet another return of cash with a share consolidation. The yield on IHG was too low so I reinvested this money, £2,392, in Lloyds.
Ladbrokes merged with Coral to form the Ladbrokes Coral Group, but there was no cash effect of this.
Income
This is what HYPs are all about and the £6,124 for this year was another record, although it was up just 0.5% on last year and therefore a little behind inflation. From year one, the increase is 77.5%.
The income from an HYP is never going to show a smooth year on year rise, it will always be lumpy and even suffer the occasional fall. You have to accept this profile if you wish to invest this way.
Total income thus far is £68,758 over the 16 years, averaging some £4,297 per year which is 5.73% pa on the £75,000 cost.
BA Tobacco remains, as it has for years, the single largest income contributor with 22.0% of total income but Persimmon is not far behind in contributing 19.0% followed by BT Group third at 13.0%. At the other end, the smallest sums arose from Mitchells & Butlers on 0.8%, RSA 0.9% and Lloyds 1.0%. All of these are recovering from slashed or suspended payouts in earlier years.
There was one zero payer, Anglo American.
Capital
This is irrelevant or secondary depending on your viewpoint. If it's primary, you possibly shouldn't be in this strategy at all. As people who have followed me over the years will be aware, I've always advised that it be ignored. However I know that readers do want to see it.
As shown, the value of £153,721 has assassinated the FTSE100 over the 16 years, up 105.0% against an index up only 7.3% and thus outperforming it by 91.1%. This is without reinvesting dividends.
In the year the index has risen 8.9% whilst HYP1 is up 2.5% so, unusually, it has underperformed this year.
As with its dividends, BA Tobacco remains the largest holding by far at 24.1% with BT Group second at 13.3%.
