Thanks Moorfield
Have a good look at income-oriented Investment Trusts, their yields, reach, payout records during Covid. Before you jump into the implementation, I'd be interested to hear what your over-arching objective is for your SIPP HYP, for example do you have a particular income target in mind, and what overall yield do you need to achieve that?
I have an IT based income portfolio within an ISA wrapper and currently reinvest the dividends. My running yield on that portfolio is currently 6.19% which I am happy with and will continue to invest in this over time.
I retired at the age of 56 last year and my objective for my ISAs and SIPP is to generate a reasonable level of income to initially reinvest and then take an annual income to facilitate travel etc whilst ideally preserving the value of the capital. I don't have a particular income target in mind, the income generated will supplement other existing income streams (DB Pensions, Property Rental Income et al) so it's really icing on the cake so to speak.
I have considered simply sticking it all into a Vanguard Global Equity fund - low charges, fire and forget almost ... but actually I enjoy monitoring and investing in the markets so it's also something I will get enjoyment from and have a bit of fun with.
