    My current LISA with Newcastle gets 1.1%, and the dividend yields on the FTSE are way more than that, so that alone makes it worth the risk. 
    Historic data is totally useless at the current time. Dividends are being suspended daily. Beyond me why Carnival Cruises would be considered a good investment for the foreseeable future, not least that it may struggle to stay afloat in it's current form. 19% historic yield says it all.

    The FTSE is an absolute dog index, think global and mix in other assets.
    The S&P has it's far share of dogs as does any index. Surprising how little people know about what they actually investing in.

    S&P500 selection committee will be working overtime to adjust/break the 'rules' for inclusion, again.
    IMHO.
