Being contrarian in nature, I'd look at those which had fallen further over, let's say, the summer/autumn high points.
Here's a preliminary list of changes which have be approximated from the charts within the HYPTUSS - therefore no double checking, and DYOR as usual:
Code: Select all
Dunedin Income Growth Inv Trust DIG -11
Edinburgh Inv Trust EDIN -5.5
Finsbury Growth and Income Trust FGT -6
Henderson Far East Income Ltd. HFEL -7
Invesco Income Growth Trust IVI -12
JP Morgan Global Emerging Income JEMI -8
Mercantile Investment Trust MRC -13
Merchants Trust MRCH -8
Murray Income Trust MUT -11
Perpetual Income and Growth Inv Trust PLI -10
Schroder Income Growth Fund SCF -10
Schroder Oriental Income Fund Ltd. SOI -8
Temple Bar Inv Trust TMPL -4
UK dividend Aristocrats UKDV -10
The numbers are percentages dropped. Some trusts have altered surprisingly little Murray International being one, and I assume that is owing to sterling's fall.. City of London isn't included as the chart was not returned by HYPTUSS, however, I believe the drop is about 6%.
So the above is a shopping list for me to think about in the next few weeks.

Interesting list Arb, thanks for posting it.
I'm looking to start drip-feeding some accumulated dividends and capital over the next few months, having reached a cash level of around 12%. I think that's enough in terms of a safety buffer if the market takes a wobble, and any further dividends or new-capital above that level will now be drip-fed into a small number of income-IT's, high-yield shares that may have taken recent stumbles.
I've taken a look at the Digital Look '
Forecast Yields' for the IT's in your list, and have re-posted the table below with those Forecast Yields included, in case it's of interest to anyone else.
Code: Select all
Company Name Ticker Forecast Yield % drop
Dunedin Income Growth Inv Trust DIG 4.80% -11
Edinburgh Inv Trust EDIN 3.60% -5.5
Finsbury Growth and Income Trust FGT 1.90% -6
Henderson Far East Income Ltd. HFEL 6.10% -7
Invesco Income Growth Trust IVI 3.80% -12
JP Morgan Global Emerging Income JEMI 4.40% -8
Mercantile Investment Trust (The) MRC 2.60% -13
Merchants Trust MRCH 5.70% -8
Murray Income Trust MUT 4.70% -11
Perpetual Income and Growth Inv Trust PLI 3.50% -10
Schroder Income Growth Fund SCF 4.10% -10
Schroder Oriental Income Fund Ltd. SOI 3.60% -8
Temple Bar Inv Trust TMPL 3.40% -4
There's a couple there that I own already, and will likely top up to some extent, and there's a couple that I don't own that interest me, where I'll be doing a bit more research before perhaps dipping my toe into.
Thanks again for posting the list. It's always interesting to see what other people own in the income-IT arena, and finding some good value for purchase right now is something I'm keen to explore.
Cheers,
