extremely passive buy and forget investor

Maybe having a bit of an indignant strop and muttering about fraud or theft might concentrate minds?

If you've got a couple hundred shares mainly from the FTSE 350, and don't have much interest in micromanaging your portfolio, perhaps a FTSE350 tracker would be a simpler option? It'd certainly make issues like errant corporate actions someone elses problem!

Could be. But yield will be a lot lower over hand picked shares. My portfolio yield is currently around 5.75%.

Leaving lower yielders from the indexes out of your portfolio will obviously give a higher yield than the market. My portfolio has been selected for yield from mostly FTSE350 and last year was offering me 5% but I'm expecting that might halve this year. Still so would any tracker.
