What has happened this year.In my SIPP sold BA and TW (9/4/18) to re-balance HYP portfolio, with the proceeds topped up MCT to Median value of my IT's. Also started to purchase JETI to get European exposure, first brought on 31/7/18 and have topped up twice since with dividend re-investment. Will continue to top-up until at Median and then will look for another IT in an area I am missing (probably Information Technology IT).
In my Trading account, continued to reduce shares here to save on tax and re-invest in my ISA. No bed & ISA this year. Sold RIO, GSK, ADM, SSE (no holdings left of these now and it helped re-balance the HYP side). I did top-up VOD (13/4/18), seemed like a good idea at the time.
In my ISA, used funds from selling in my trading account to purchase IMB and LGEN (9/4/18), topped up BT (9/4/18) and MKS (6/4/18 and another slice on 4/6/18). Also purchased a slice of GNK (4/8/18) to stand alongside MARS.
Since August have paid away all dividends from Trading Account and ISA.
What did my dividends look like compared to previous years:-
Dividends per year | Yield on cost | Yield on value | | 2015-2016 | 5.58% | 4.98% 2016-2017 | 5.64% | 5.71% 2017-2018 | 5.64% | 5.19% 2018-2019 | 5.90% | 6.20%
SHARE DIVIDENDS | | | | Yield on cost | Yield on value | Divi per unit For TAX 2015-2016 | 6.31% | 5.31% | 0.64 For TAX 2016-2017 | 5.86% | 5.65% | 0.63 For TAX 2017-2018 | 5.71% | 5.18% | 0.61 For TAX 2018-2019 | 5.82% | 6.32% | 0.62
IT DIVIDENDS | | | | Yield on cost | Yield on value | Divi per unit For TAX 2015-2016 | 4.25% | 4.27% | 0.42 For TAX 2016-2017 | 4.96% | 5.95% | 0.49 For TAX 2017-2018 | 5.41% | 5.22% | 0.53 For TAX 2018-2019 | 6.08% | 5.95% | 0.60I will add to my HYP this year (hopefully). My yield forecast for the HYP part shows 6.66% and for the IT's 5.09%. I get my state pension in May and have to decide shortly whether to fully-retire or continue as I am part-time. Having the additional funds would be nice, we will see.
