IDVY.L Purchased

Today i purchased IDVY.L at around 1215p

This is an ETF tracking an index of high yielding eurozone stocks. It is made up of 30 companies, covering financials, telecoms, industrials & consumer industries.  Whilst i'm a little uncomfortable with some of the Spanish & Italian names, more than two-thirds of the geographical exposure is to Germany, France, Netherlands & Belgium.

The fundamentals were the main attraction, with a PE of around 10 and a dividend yield over 6%, although i decided to go for a smaller than average position due to these extra risks.

I decided to buy today seeing the index down 1.5% following news of political turnover in Italy, although i've been following this ETF for a few months now.
