To consider yield or not really depends upon the vehicle used to hold investments. Out of a Tax shelter like a SIPP or ISA ... yield is taxed after £2,000 pa income whereas capital gains are taxed after £12,500 pa of gains.
So after using up one's dividend allowances, it makes sense to invest in funds with low yield, seeking capital growth.
In a tax shelter ... it doesn't make a lot of difference whether one looks for yield or accumulation save anyone on the short side having to return any dividend back to the share owner.
For a fund like HFEL it trades on a surplus to NAV whereas others trade at a heavy discount.
AIF being one with a heavy discount, that rectified that imbalance the past few days with a 10% increase in value.
So the argument is moot.
