Two ways of looking at it Meconopsis. You will receive the £600 as you say, but your investment in this scenario is c. £5,500, not £10k, hence the 11% yield. So you've got the same dividend plus the capital gain. I take your point though, you could crystallise the gain and make £800 by investing the £10k in a company with an 8% yield. Food for thought.
