Stock Selection Criteria
Sort by dividend cover and remove any less than 1.0 to ensure that the company can maintain the dividend.
Sort the FTSE100, FTSE250 and FTSE350 lists simultaneously by sector and descending yield. This is because we only want to purchase a maximum of one stock from each industry sector to ensure diversification and reduce the risk of having too many stocks in a sector which may later go ‘out of fashion’. Remove all but the highest yielders from each sector. We now have the single highest yielding stock in each sector.
Sort again by descending yield. This now gives a list of companies, selecting only one from each sector, with the highest dividend yield which can be maintained.
