With darkening investment skies, I am considering investing this month’s earned income, including current cash around 3k into a pair trading strategy.

An Investment Trust that pays a dividend around ten percent and a UK Government Gilt paying around 4%. Although this would be a small drag on overall performance, it would still maintain a blended yield of seven percent.

The Government Gilt to be held until/if/when the next market crash happens and the gilt would then be sold and re-invested into a Dividend Hero share.

LWDB is a coveted Trust but if the drop was not substantial it could possibly replace the safe investment of the Government Gilt. Current yield 3.47%, so a lot of water would need to flow under a lot of bridges.
