Yes that's what I have in mind. The same 15-20 shares that one might put in an HYP.
Pondering overnight whether I might simplify this idea further and build/drip feed a long position on CTY (City of London IT) instead. £60 deposit, £100 exposure, £20 (initial) margin. The biggest peak-to-trough sp fall in recent years was ~15% in 2015. No guarantees of course it won't all go badly worse in the future!
