It’s one of the top dividend-paying ETFs. Its dividend yield yield is 6.94% currently, based on the excellent ETF spreadsheet by @J4ck:

Any other investors in IUKD here? Or is everyone into AIM oil drillers and US tech?

I like my oil stocks. My largest investment is Gulf Keystone Petroleum although they aren’t AIM. EME is one to watch.

I have some IUKD, Probably 70% of my portfolio is dividend focused. Mostly individual socks but I have a few ETFs as well

That was the better choice. I’m about 30% down on IUKD since I invested. I’m not sure when I should try and get rid of it.
The Investors Chronicle dropped it from it’s top 50 ETF collection. Reason:
UKDV is still on the list, because it invests in not high-yielding, but dividend-growing stocks:

There is a lot of difference between the two ETFs, and I should have researched more. Disappointed!
