Summary
A £20,000 Stocks and Shares ISA invested in FTSE 100 index trackers 12 months ago would now be worth about £24,200 before fees, based on the index’s 21% rise.
That same investment would also be generating roughly £740 a year in dividends, using the FTSE 100’s current yield of around 3.1% and the higher yield available at last year’s lower prices.
A diversified portfolio of individual shares could have beaten that return, the analysis says, though stock-picking also carries the risk of underperforming the market over a short 12-month period.
Greggs is cited as a long-term value idea despite trading 8% below a year ago after a profit warning, with expansion potential offset by risks including weak demand planning, energy costs and overexpansion.
