The above portfolio is what a de-accumulation portfolio might look like, yours may be different. This information is being repeated as new readers join the blog to follow the Snowball, welcome all. When the next market crash arrives u should be ready.

Working Example

If u bought at 30p for the yield, as the price may have continued to fall

2020 dividend 4.46p a yield of 14.9%

This years expected dividend 4.5p a yield of around 15% on the buying price but as the price rises the yield falls so a running yield of 8.57%

If u include the dividends earned but not re-invested in the Trust u have more than doubled the amount u invested. Of course the one consideration u would have needed funds to re-invest and as most Trusts fell in unison, I’ll leave that with u to come up with a solution.
