FTSE 350 - Sector and Yield table

[Itsallaguess]

Below is a list of FTSE 350 constituents listed by SECTOR and then ranked by YIELD within each sector.

Only shares represented in the HYPTUSS Digital Look data-sheet are populated, so there may be minor omissions in the data below.

I've dip-checked the data, but if anyone finds it interesting then please only use it as an initial guide, with follow-on investigations certainly being required for any further investment purposes....

Cheers,

This is a pithy posting.
Thankyou very much for taking the trouble.
Current FTSE yield 4.1% in the 100, and 2.6% in the 250, it says here https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/dividend ... et=ftse100. So that's the benchmark for pure HYP.
Haven't bought anything new for a while. Worth a browse on a wet Sunday.

That's great, thanks - I should really have included this sort of detail with my table, and I'll try to do so next time.

That's what I thought too when I saw the huge swathe of rain coming in, so I'm glad it's going to provide some help with that!

Along the same lines, I used the "step one" spreadsheet to get the basic HYP table based on:-

HYP Practical
For the HYP Practical board we define an HYP as a portfolio comprised exclusively of ordinary shares. If selected, such shares should have a dividend yield above the average for the FTSE100 index and be drawn from the constituents of the FTSE 350 index. At its simplest, it will have at least 15 holdings, none of which should be from the same sector. A long term buy and hold (LTBH) of these shares is envisaged.

Investment Trusts or open ended funds should not be included, although REITs are acceptable.

No checking done, based on FTSE100 4/1%. Data is from 31st July.



Shares in Red are in my HYP. Those in Blue, I have held at some point.

A wet sunday does wonders for idle minds.

Mind you this does focus me a bit as end of next month I intend to "spend" in my ISA.

Edited. 12:52 Going the extra step and adding my own "criteria", if I was to spend today based on that, it would be a "new" buy of Greene King. To compliment my Marstons.

Thankyou for this, very interesting. Will spend some of my afternoon on this.

Well, it's actually the benchmark for posting about the company on the HYP Practical board ("pure HYP" is IMHO a pretty meaningless term). Or should 3.93% be the benchmark?

Or maybe yet another source?

Or perhaps it's a rather fuzzy boundary?

Yes, that's the benchmark to which I was alluding.
Although I realise some people are addicted to shares of lower yield.
Diageo, for example. I believe their products can cause fuzziness

Looking down these lists does make me realise that specifiying the FTSE 350 does through up many companies which I doubt Pyad would have included, for the are rather too small.

I'd prefer to stick with his original liking for large companies, perhaps dipping in to the top of the 250 only. The FTSE350 does seem convenient, but also represents, in my view,unwarranted mission creep away from the original idea that "buy biggest and best in a sector" was one of our safety factors.

But ARB, what if the biggest is not the best? In some sectors there may be only one share in the FTSE100, yet several smaller companies in the lower index which are much more attractive. Look at Chemicals for example. After ICI and BOC were taken over I think only Croda remained and the yield on that was unacceptably low. There were better prospects lower down the table.

I went for Yule Catto, now Synthomer, which suffered in 2008 and has never fully recovered its yield, but I got out at a reasonable level. Perhaps that proves your point, but that market shake up was no respective of market cap.

As regards your last point, let's remember one cannot prove the general from the particular.
As regards the opening remark, Pyad designed HYP around the largest companies and I mostly go with that. If "the best" in my opinion is too small, then it's simple: it is still to small and would not be bought.
Clearly, all of us will arguably have different own lower limits, but the lower 350 is far too small and certainly not HYP as originally designed - that was my point. It was an essential part of the HYP safety review and should not be lightly thrown out.

I tend to agree with this, and as the poster of the opening table, I wouldn't want to be seen to be personally endorsing income-investment from many of the lower market-cap options that might be available.

With that said, there are often compelling stories to be found that may pay a good income whilst they play out, and I like to have some capital available for such companies to provide a bit of stimulating interest, but nowadays, in the main, if I've looking to invest relatively large amounts of capital in the mid-yield range, then I'm quite happy to utilise an Investment Trust, and with it gain some welcome instant-diversification in the vast majority of cases.
