Portfolio Income: Comments

A further £10,707.88 is currently forecast to be withdrawn during this current financial year – to 05 April 2025 – making the current forecast for the Year Two Income of £11,521.88. This will represent an further income return of 5.76% on the amount invested, currently almost identical to the Year One full year return: £11,514.87 – 5.76%.

Portfolio Value: To Date

The value of the portfolio has been recorded at the end of each quarter as follows:

Year Start | 05 Jul      | 05 Oct      | 05 Jan      | 05 Apr      | Year End 
06-Apr-22 | | | | 191,997.71 | 05-Apr-23
06-Apr-23 | 177,699.80 | 173,308.53 | 192,859.28 | 189,431.56 | 05-Apr-24

Portfolio Value: Comments

As I stated previously, from a Capital Value point of view, I appear to have set up this portfolio at just the wrong time. Picking the 30 Jan 2023 as the day for the purchasing of the shares, was to select the top of the market, almost precisely!

However, it has been barely fifteen months since the set-up of this portfolio. This data will continue to be reported but of course, as a High Yield Portfolio (HYP) in drawdown, the Capital Value is very much of secondary interest.

Portfolio Type: Tinkering version

This “virtual” portfolio is of course of the simple Buy & Hold, Income Drawdown type, with the only further transactions being those forced by corporate actions whereby capital is returned to the portfolio as cash.

However, it is my intention to set up a sibling “virtual” portfolio which will be of the more complex Buy & Tinker, Income Drawdown type. The set up of this sibling portfolio will occur when and if, at the end of any quarter:

1. If the Income Concentration from any Business Sector is at or above 15% of the Total Portfolio Income, a decision will be taken as to whether one third of the holdings should be sold. The idea being that, if a disposal is thought necessary, the Income Concentration for the affected Business Sector should be reduced to no more than 10%

2. If the Yield of any holding falls below one third of the yield for the portfolio as a whole, a decision will be taken as to whether the holding should be sold in its entirety.

The proceeds of any such sale will be re-invested, in accordance with the normal selection procedure for the portfolio – Highest Sustainable Yield – such that the Income Concentration for the Business Sector of the holding selected, is not greater than 10% of the Total Portfolio Income.


To be honest, I am still mulling over exactly what such “too high” levels should be. Indeed, I may only make such a decision when and if it appears obvious to me that a Buy & Tinker portfolio would require such action being taken. Any recommendations or advice received in this regard, will be fully reviewed, although the final decision will be mine.

At the moment, there does not appear to be any reason to make any change to the Buy & Tinker version of this portfolio, which will therefore remain unchanged.

Next Actions Required

1. - HSBA – HSBC PLC: Special Dividend

Although I recognise such a payment as a Return of Capital (RoC), the total amount due of around £140.00 is too small to be re-invested and will be taken as income.

2. - SMDS – DS Smith PLC: All-Share Takeover

New York based International Paper Company (IP) has proposed an all-share takeover of SMDS. As I understand it SMDS shareholders will receive 0.1285 shares of IP for each SMDS share held, giving this portfolio an IP holding of 362 shares, plus a small residue. It is intended that IP will have a secondary listing in London, so this holding will be maintained going forward.

Next Progress Review: End of Quarter One

A report on the continuing progress of the portfolio will be produced on, or soon after, the 05 July 2024

Should anyone wish to comment on this review, or any actions taken in the management of this virtual HYP Portfolio, then please do so but only on this related thread: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=43324

The intention is to keep this thread simply recording the events and progress of the Portfolio during its first year.

Enjoy!

[2] - Realised Profit and Loss & Return of Capital – To Date

1. - National Grid PLC (NG): Rights Issue – Lapsed Rights Value

https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcem ... ng/8256535

….. have successfully procured subscribers for all of the 97,727,572 New Ordinary Shares for which valid acceptances were not received, representing approximately 9% of the total number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the fully underwritten Rights Issue, and for all of the 292,026 Ordinary Shares resulting from the aggregation of fractional entitlements of Ordinary Shares, at a price of 835 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Placing Price").

A Placing Price of 835.00p, reduced by the Exercise Price of 645.00p, equates to a price for each Lapsed Right of 190.00p.

The Portfolio, with a holding of 966 shares, would have received 281.75 Rights which were allowed to Lapse. Therefore, an amount of £535.32 was determined to have been received on 12 Jun 2024.

This amount will be re-invested.

2. - HSBC PLC (HSBA): Special Dividend

https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcem ... te/8253764

Dividends payable in cash in Hong Kong dollars or sterling were converted from United States dollars at the forward exchange rates quoted by HSBC Bank plc in London at or about 11.00 am on 11 June 2024 (US$1=HK$7.806880 and £1=US$1.273458).

The Portfolio, with a holding 831 shares, would have received an amount of £137.03 on 21 Jun 2024.

Portfolio Value: Comments

As I stated previously, from a Capital Value point of view, I appear to have set up this portfolio at just the wrong time. Picking the 30 Jan 2023 as the day for the purchasing of the shares, was to select the top of the market, almost precisely!

However, it has been barely eighteen months since the set-up of this portfolio. This data will continue to be reported but of course, as a High Yield Portfolio (HYP) in drawdown, the Capital Value is very much of secondary interest.

Return of Capital (RoC): Re-Investment

   Date   |         Item             | Amount 
10-Jun-24 | HSBA Special Dividend | £137.03
10-Jun-24 | NG Lapsed Rights Payment | £535.32
| Total for Re-Investment | £672.35

The amount of £672.35 will be invested as follows:

Candidates

I am not one to place a limit on the yield being purchased. HYP is first and foremost an income strategy, so I do not countenance any idea of limiting the yield purchased to twice the number you first thought of, after stepping off the scales this morning! I am simply looking for the “Highest Sustainable Yield”.

To this end, the following candidates were initially listed for consideration:

EPIC |         Company          | Yield (%) | Decision |         Comments                             
PHNX | Phoenix Grp Holdings | 9.77% | Possible | Resultant Sector Income Concentration (7.19%)
BATS | British American Tobacco | 9.57% | Possible | Resultant Sector Income Concentration (7.04%)
MNG | M & G PLC | 9.47% | Possible | Resultant Sector Income Concentration (7.72%)
ABDN | Abrdn PLC | 9.13% | Possible | Resultant Sector Income Concentration (7.72%)
LGEN | Legal & General Grp | 8.76% | Possible | Resultant Sector Income Concentration (7.19%)


Phoenix Grp Holdings (PHNX) – Yield 10.32%

My thinking remains as it was on 10 May 2024 and 10 June 2024, when another “virtual” had two consecutive re-investments of dividends in PHNX. As I said then:

On the one hand they are currently throwing off a lot of cash – including a recently increased dividend – but on the other there are those that caution against a coming earnings drought.

Personally, I am not very good at determining future events, preferring to base my decisions on what is or has been recently happening, together with a review of what the management think.

Phoenix announces strong full year 2023 results and new progressive dividend policy.

"Phoenix's vision is to be the UK's leading retirement savings and income business, and we are making great progress in delivering our strategy to achieve this, as our strong 2023 financial results demonstrate.

We have achieved our 2025 growth target two years early with £1.5bn of new business cash delivered by our Standard Life business - a new record. We delivered over £2bn of cash generation and maintained our resilient balance sheet, and our strong performance has enabled the Board to recommend a 2.5% dividend increase.

The next phase of our strategy will see us balance our investment across our strategic priorities to grow, optimise and enhance our business.

So, I am going to stick with the management and re-invest this returned capital amount into a purchase of PHNX.


I will be having a further quick review next week – 08/09 July 2024 - but for now …..

Life Insurer – Phoenix Group PLC (PHNX) – Yield 9.77% - is the decision for this RoC re-investment.

The Sector Income Concentration after purchase (7.19%) will leave the Life Insurer Business Sector holding as number two by that measure, BUT well below the maximum allowed – 10%.

I am not intending to purchase PHNX for any of the “real” portfolios under my control, and therefore the price to be applied for this “virtual” purchase will be the Mid Price reported on the day. I shall post an update when the details of the purchase are known.

Portfolio Type: Tinkering version

This “virtual” portfolio is of course of the simple Buy & Hold, Income Drawdown type, with the only further transactions being those forced by corporate actions whereby capital is returned to the portfolio as cash.

However, it is my intention to set up a sibling “virtual” portfolio which will be of the more complex Buy & Tinker, Income Drawdown type. The set up of this sibling portfolio will occur when and if, at the end of any quarter:

1. If the Income Concentration from any Business Sector is at or above 15% of the Total Portfolio Income, a decision will be taken as to whether one third of the holdings should be sold. The idea being that, if a disposal is thought necessary, the Income Concentration for the affected Business Sector should be reduced to no more than 10%

2. If the Yield of any holding falls below one third of the yield for the portfolio as a whole, a decision will be taken as to whether the holding should be sold in its entirety.

The proceeds of any such sale will be re-invested, in accordance with the normal selection procedure for the portfolio – Highest Sustainable Yield – such that the Income Concentration for the Business Sector of the holding selected, is not greater than 10% of the Total Portfolio Income.

To be honest, I am still mulling over exactly what such “too high” levels should be. Indeed, I may only make such a decision when and if it appears obvious to me that a Buy & Tinker portfolio would require such action being taken. Any recommendations or advice received in this regard, will be fully reviewed, although the final decision will be mine.

At the moment, there does not appear to be any reason to make any change to the Buy & Tinker version of this portfolio, which will therefore remain unchanged.

Next Actions Required

1. - SMDS – DS Smith PLC: All-Share Takeover

New York based International Paper Company (IP) has proposed an all-share takeover of SMDS. As I understand it SMDS shareholders will receive 0.1285 shares of IP for each SMDS share held, giving this portfolio an IP holding of 362 shares, plus a small residue. It is intended that IP will have a secondary listing in London, so this holding will be maintained going forward.

Next Progress Review: End of Quarter Two

A report on the continuing progress of the portfolio will be produced on, or soon after, the 05 October 2024


Should anyone wish to comment on this review, or any actions taken in the management of this virtual HYP Portfolio, then please do so but only on this related thread: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=43324

The intention is to keep this thread simply recording the events and progress of the Portfolio during its first year.

Enjoy!


Ian
