Held shares since 1989/90 launch. Share price stagnant over that period. Have more shares now than some Directors. I fear with the mergers that Janus is using this share to dump dog trusts from elsewhere just to increase assets under management. Waiting to see how this recovers after Covid.
I'm the loser here as a long term holder, only 10 percent up on HHI, with a 6.4 % yield. Just 1 % up on HEFL but just over 7% yield.
I can't believe Chelverton keeps on climbing - 82 percent up and over 8 % yield. Timing is critical !
Hi SD235. I'm similarly happy with HHI, reinvesting the dividends too.
I also bought HEFL, another Henderson trust during a dip and am similarly pleased.
Keeping an eye on the SP here. After next div, 190 could prove to be resistance and a point to trade a position unless the quarterly divs increase.
Bought in January (21) decided the market was going up up and away! Bought for the gearing and the dividend is a very nice bonus. Up 22%, considering it's only 5 months and way after the bottom of the market I am rather pleased with myself.... pity every other purchase isn't as good!!
I would never invest in an IT that charges a performance fee, and in this respect I am disappointed in Janus Henderson with regards to this trust. It really leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Hi CSDI1962 - only you can answer your question. I also hold a number of dividend paying trusts / shares along with some global investment funds. I hold the accumulation version in each case ie income reinvested.
My global funds have far outperformed all my dividend paying holdings for many years. Some of my best performing funds are listed below:
Fundsmith
Blue Whale Global Growth
Rathbone Global Opportunities
Even my holding in Legal & General International Index, which is a global tracker fund, outperforms my dividend paying holdings. Good luck!
Hi Folks, I have just put 4% of my SIPP in here yesterday at 151.6p looking for a solid income paying fund. The divi is set at 2.475p per qtr, so a fat yield of around 6.6% today. This was funded from the sale of a dividend ETF called IUKD which I had held for a couple of years. The IUKD income had dropped from 52 per share in 2019 to approx 26p in 2020, and coupled with a falling SP this was not a good combination. Luckily I have escaped from IUKD without any loss as I had managed to average down early this year, and lumped with 7 quarters divis. My original purchase was 790p in Feb 2019, followed up at 740p in May 2019 and 501p in mad March this year.
My question is, should I top this fund up with another 4% of my SIPP, or should I buy a separate fund or income trust.
I hold a similar amount in ASEI having just sold out of BERI.
I have looked at ASEI, HHI, MRCH, BHI, CTY as possible options all paying around 6%.
For better diversity I would consider BERI and BRWM, but these have both been on a tear recently, so yields have dropped below 5%, which is my normal min target for an income paying share.
Other shares I hold already are: ASEI, AV, GSK, HHI, IMB, NCYF, PDG, RDSB and VOD.
Cheers - CSDI
Nice divi yield , would not expect much more I have had these in my income portfolio since 2015 when I paid 1.91 for them
I added a few of these to my income portfolio earlier today as a first tranche. The yield on offer is too good to pass by.
