3 FTSE 250 stocks offering yields above 7% and long payout history
July 25, 2026, 4:31 AM EDT. Investors looking for passive income might look at three FTSE 250 dividend stocks with yields north of 7% and more than 30 years of payouts: Henderson Far East Income (9.5% yield), Victrex Plc (8.3%), and Workspace Group (7.4%). High yields can point to risk. Victrex has seen new demand for its PEEK polymer, hinting at a possible turnaround after recent profit hits. Workspace cut its dividend following a pre-tax loss but could recover if new plans pay off. Henderson Far East Income still stands out for income. These picks come as markets stay uncertain with US tariffs and global conflicts, so investors need to do solid research on smaller-cap UK names.

Putting £20k a Year in a Stocks and Shares ISA Could Pay Out £15,815 Yearly, Numbers Show
July 25, 2026, 4:30 AM EDT. UK savers can invest up to £20,000 each year in a Stocks and Shares ISA, getting tax-free returns with no income, dividend, or capital gains tax, which is a key edge. If you kept up those contributions for 30 years and saw an average annual growth of 9.64%, the pot could reach £316,301. That could mean £15,815 in annual income using a 5% dividend yield.
