That might be ample, if they have yields exceeding the FTSE average.
What has that got to do with HYP?
Seriously, HYP is about selecting a portfolio of shares, suitably diversified, that offer the highest sustainable yields available. Obviously the level of the portfolio yield achieved will depend entirely on the strictness of one's selection criteria, which will of course vary from HYPer to HYPer.
I ask again, what has the FTSE Average yield got to do with HYP?
