Further to last weeks mention of this new offering from Vanguard, I have done a little more research to establish the companies which make up the top holdings. The index consists of over 1,000 holdings but here is a list of the main players which make up just under 40% of the index.

I am happy with the quality of these leading global income providers and have today purchased my usual 'half ' and will add to this should the share price fall back in the coming months. The purchase price was £31.60.
The forecast yield is 4% and will derive from a diverse mix of sectors including financials 22.6%, consumer staples 12.7%, health care 11.4%, energy 11.0%, industrials 10.0% - lesser weightings come from IT, telecoms and utilities.
Here is a link to the FTSE All World Index for those who may wish to have a closer look at this one.
As ever, please DYOR.
any news on how this is performing in your portfolio?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteSeems to be trading broadly in line - I am just awaiting news on the dividend for the current quarter. I will be posting an update on the IT income portfolio (which includes this ETF) after the end of the year.
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteWhich stock broker you use? I was trying to buy this eft using my td direct account but it seems it is not appearing for regular investment but can buy it as normal trade with 12.5 gap brokerage.
Hi,
DeleteCurrently using AJ Bell Youinvest (formerly Sippdeal). This can be a problem with some brokers, also some do not offer a full range of investment trusts. Have you bought other ETFs with this broker?
No. Mostly shares and some IT like CTY , TMPL and MRCH. May be regular investing investing is not there with VHYL or VHYD at TD Direct.
