Is there such a thing as a high yield / high growth Investment Trust (any tips would be good; anything with a total return - with dividends re-invested - of 4% plus per year) or does this investing Shangri-la exist in my head only?

Yes there are many ITs that have a high yield. The overall return might be lower than a less income focused one though.
This might be a place to start

I haven't double checked it but the AIC's website appears to have total return data e.g., for City of London. The last ten years might be a flattering period, though.AsifM068 said:Evening forum

Generally, the higher the yield, the lower the growth on the unit price.AsifM068 said:Evening forum
