  • £10,000 in 3 High-Yield FTSE 250 Stocks Could Generate £982 in Passive Income
    June 16, 2026, 5:52 AM EDT. Investors seeking passive income might look to the FTSE 250, which currently yields 3.53%, outperforming the FTSE 100's 3.06%. Three stocks-Greencoat UK Wind (10.04%), Taylor Wimpey (10.00%), and Telecom Plus (9.42%)-offer a combined yield of 9.82%, potentially generating £982 from a £10,000 investment over 12 months. High yields can signal risk, possibly reflecting falling share prices due to company difficulties. Taylor Wimpey, despite recent profit declines linked to market conditions and interest rates, benefits from housing shortages and government planning reforms. With a policy to return up to 7.5% of net assets annually, its long-term dividend growth potential may interest investors valuing both yield and growth.
