Further to my last blog, I've continued updating my SIPP. This is generally in-line with the criteria I have set myself when reviewing SIPP performance earlier this year, ie:-
1) Investment companies to have a market value of greater than £500 million
2) Investment companies to have a yield of at least 3%.
3) Investment companies to be without significant debt, or able to cover debt from cash reserves (if this does not make sense that is because I am NOT a trained financial analyst).
As such I have made initial purchases in:-
Brown Group (BWNG): 190 shares @ 324
Ashmore (ASHM): 300 shares @ 263
Intermediate Capital (ICP): 275 shares @ 541
RSA Insurance (RSA): 200 shares @ 656
Unilever (ULVR): 31 shares @ 2642
BAE (BA.): 185 shares @ 438
Pearson ((PSON): 72 shares @ 1124
I have been able to finance the purchases by contributions to the SIPP and from the sale of my entire shareholding in Standard Chartered Bank (STAN) whose share price has recently collapsed with little prospect of recovery in the short-term. As such, I've decided to cut my losses and move the capital into other companies where the prospects seem better.
