Dividend Yield calculated incorrectly
In portfolios I like to display the "trailing annual dividend yield". Unfortunately there is something wrong with your calculation method. As an example Aberdeen Equity Income Trust has a trailing yield of 6.29%, but Yahoo calculates this as 0.06%. The result needs multiplying by 100 to get a percentage yield. Of my 62 holdings everyone is calculated incorrectly apart from Lindsell Train IT which is correctly reported at 4.92%. Why that should be I don't know, but can you have a look at it please. John
