January 2018: Portfolio Update.

2018 has begun like a severely deflating whoopee cushion, with the FTSE following the DJIA and other global markets pulling back from record highs.
A -2.24% fall for my portfolio closely behind the FTSE's -2.01% fall, and this despite a healthy dividend from National Grid this month.

The financials in my portfolio have held onto some gains though, with Aviva at 1.32% and Lloyds at 2.13%.

As mentioned in last months update, I have also made another small purchase of Imperial Brands.

Looking at the table I have also re-ordered by descending scale on the % holding which now shows Lloyds potential influence on my portfolio. 
Following all the changes and a little culling, its Interesting to see the forecast yield jump to 5.16% for my portfolio overall.
