That's a great question Lootman, which I have been attempting to answer from a different perspective recently.
Even pyad gets the treatment!

I'm surprised by this result. It blows up my hypothesis that HYPs "edge" is in small portfolios. Anyway, IanTHughes remains top of the table.
Disclaimer:
Using one IT is an exaggerated (and slightly lazy on my part) example here. I'm sure the point can be grasped that line could equally be the overall yield of a portfolio of ITs across different sectors (UK, Overseas, Debt, Property, Specialist). It's not too difficult to build a small portfolio of ITs yielding north of 7.0%, for example a PHY (HYP's Evil Twin) here. Think about whats going on with overall portfolio yield, intrinsic diversification and cash management, and volatility of income.
