Megathread - 🔥 Dividend Fest 🔥

It would be good to give the overall yield - that way you can benchmark yourself. Roughly your yield seems to be 2.5%** which is not bad and in line with (but below) something like VWRL.

** but should be higher by the year’s end e.g. just above 4% if your dividend doubles.

(In case anyone is wondering about a pure UK portfolio: VUKG total return for a year is about 7% (1.3% YTD), whilst ISFD has managed about 21% (12% YTD) :upside_down_face:)

Already starting to notice a slight change in my dividends just from Q1 2022 to Q2 2022. I only started this tracker in Jan 2022 using my ISA account (which I only started in February of this year).

Q1: £1.14
Q2: £6.91

A long road ahead but upwards and onwards! Let’s see what Q3 & Q4 bring me!

Love seeing these graphs, they are very encouraging for newer investors like myself. Sadly nowhere near £550 per month for me though. In fact, I’ll probably be struggling to contribute any new funds in the next few months. :frowning:

Well done, same here. I started in February 2022 and already have vastly higher dividends month on month. I suspect after July it will be a bit flatter though as my companies pay out most round the May/June/July time and many UK companies only pay out twice per year rather than quarterly.

I’m certainly a long way away from that as well…but only started recently…so it’s only upwards from here! With my ISA, I mostly have funds which pay out quarterly, which is nice, so looking forward to seeing what the future brings!

I’ve no doubt bagged over ten pound in divs in June. Here’s to getting that every month.

Anyone heard of FS KKR Capital FSK. It has a 13.74 div yield.

I don’t gots no graph, but £115 has come in for June. That should be around £115 a quarter now and still building while it starts to build itself. Plans is a minimum of £100 a month on divi stocks and any divis paid in go straight on more divi stocks.

Are you making over £2K per year dividends? if not you shouldn’t need to pay tax on them (apart from withholding tax on foreign stocks that the ISA doesn’t help with anyway)

Move to isa asap,i also got a ko div the other day.

While I’m a way off 2k per year Hopefully I will get there in 3 or so years (forecast of £843.85 this year with further room to grow) I’d like to understand how this will affect me in the future. WIll I get a bill from HM Revenue or will the tax automatically be extracted by Freetrade once I hit 2k? A conservative estimate puts me at 30 months to get to 2k per year so certainly nothing to worry about immediately, but I’m hoping that the £500 per month investement across dividend stocks should beat that timeline so best to know what I might need to do in the future.

You’ll be expected to fill out a self asesment.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to sell and rebuy in your ISA so this will cost you additional FX costs as well as potential capital gains. For £3 you can avoid all of this.

I think you could pick better stocks for divs I mean that $amr is paying so little but share price is over $100, $O would be a more reliable stock in my opinion :roll_eyes:

Whats difference does the share price make?its about the yield,which is pretty low to be fair,but $O,now your talking gotta be one of if not my favourite stock.
