Please read with caution:
Dividend forecasts are just that, we can not be sure what a company will pay as a dividend. For example, in the Related Link below, Aviva is expected to give the highest dividend yield of 8.1%.
Aviva also has a very good P/E ratio and Price to book ratio. Still it's better to err on the side of caution as profits are reliant on other aspects of the stock markets doing well.

It's a subtle difference in how the words are used. Aggregation means putting things together. Composition means the discrete things which have been put together. You could ask "what is the composition of the ftse 100?" And the answer would be a list of companies. The question "what is the aggregation of the ftse" doesn't make sense. The ftse 350 is the aggregate of the ftse 100 and the ftse 250. It is composed of the ftse 100 and the ftse 250. A fund which tracked the ftse 350 might have the same composition as a fund which tracked the ftse 100 and the ftse 250
