RE: Dividend income from £100,000 in an ISA28 Apr 2022 20:04
Exactly this. I try and do this and I refer to it as an effective yield. If you are lucky enough to buy shares in times of extreme stress and diversify you can end up with very high yields to supplement more defensive positions. I appreciate the example I'm am about to give is very risky, but i currently have an effective yield of 25% on GKP. It is one of my biggest holdings, but if it went bust it would knock only ~5% off my portfolio. Even at that level it contributes >1% to the portfolio in terms of an income stream.
Another thing I like to do (I'm not taking income as a salary/pension) is not reinvest dividends and instead use proceeds to fund new positions, preferably in times of distress (thus keep these in cash for macro/micro stress points) to broaden the portfolio.
Good luck whatever you do.
