The FTSE is a basket of multinationals that happen to be listed in London. That distinction changes everything about what you are buying.
Dividend yield across the top 12 matches
Look at the spread, not the ranking. If the bars are all the same length, the screen is arbitrary: one point of dividend yield separates a company that made the list from one that did not, and the cut is doing more work than the data supports.
