The only tinkering for 2016 was the forced sale of AML which I didn't replace but rather just accepted a reduction in HYP units.
Performance for 2016:
- Trailing dividend yield was 5.0% vs FTSE100 3.7% vs FTSE250 2.7%.
- Capital gain was 15.4% vs FTSE100 14.4% vs FTSE250 3.7%.
- Total return was 20.4% vs FTSE100 18.1% vs FTSE250 6.4%.
So a good year. Lot's of lovely dividends with dividends per unit up 12% although some of that will be dividend payment timing as I was still buying HYP shares in 2015. Should get a clearer picture on whether I'm getting average dividend growth above inflation from next year.
Additionally on a total return basis, which is important to me, the HYP has beaten both the FTSE100 and the FTSE250.
The HYP ends the year looking like this:

Back to HYP sleep until next year me thinks.
