Article Abstract:

There are currently no fewer than 115 stocks in the FTSE 350 having dividend yields higher than 10-year gilt yields. Investors are cautioned against paying too much attention to yields. In income investing, risks linked to high-yielding stocks can be lessened by holding a basket of them, however such a portfolio can be risky as past, average, covariances do not give a good guide to future ones. Estimated covariances, using share price betas, may provide a better guide to risk.
