The holdings in there which could be topped up are:-
VOD
SLA,
PSN
IGG
PNN
MYI (Murray International)
SOI (Schroder Oriental Income)
SLA is likely to come in for a top up very soon - all the others are fairly well up to the mark.
A new holding could be a benefit and I've checked the current status using Step-One, ruled out those shares I already own and a couple of others which don't make the cut for one reason or another. This leaves the following as front runners:
TUI
ITV (paired with WPP, and/or replacing Informa)
SMDS (Smith DS)
RIO (paired with BHP)
IMI
Does anyone know of particular concerns or alternatively big advantages of any of these? I would also consider any further options, though I would prefer forecast yield to be around 4.5% or more. As I'm not drawing income from this account, I can be more lenient on yield if the record of increases is steady.
At present RIO or SMDS float to the top of my preferences.
For the sake of putting this in context, here is my HYP ranked in capital weight, then the second table is sector weighting.
