Friday Email: 23 August 2019

Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:

The FTSE 100 has had a reasonably good week and is up over 60 points.

The past week has seen a moderate level of activity with mixed results from the mining sector as BHP and Antofagasta posted strong dividend increases, whereas South32 reduced their dividend.

The bank holiday week ahead is very quiet.

Going ex dividend on Thursday with yields in excess of 2% we have Hammerson (5.3%), Plus 500 (3%), Hostelworld (2.6%), Centamin (2.4%), Wood Group (2.3%), Solid State (2%) and St James's Place for 2%.

Following on from the addition of the Euro Stoxx 600, we have now added the U.S. S&P 500 to DividendMax.
