* Definitions:
Historic Yield: the trailing twelve-month yield (ttm) - sum of latest declared dividends over past year. May contain dividends from two reporting years.
Forecast Yield: My own conservative forecast for next year. Basically same as Historic, except where there is an explicit dividend policy. My 'forecast' for Persimmon's yield is based on their declared Capital Return Plan. My 'same as last year' forecast for AMFW isn't believed by the market, which currently forecasts around 7%.
Current Yield: Historic Yield / current portfolio value.
Weight by Dividend: calculated using my forecast yield.
