Question does the dividends that come into the freetrade account show up on the chart which shows if your up or down?
They are included on the main portfoilio chart as that shows the total value of the account. but they aren’t on an individual stocks price chart

Has anyone own or got an opinion on Ares Capital and Newtek Business Services?
Both high in yield and risk.

I’d be wary of both due to the difficulty in finding financials for either. I would discount Newtek immediately due to the over 10% dividend yield, high dividend yields are often a warning, companies will sometimes drive up the dividend yield in order to reel in investors who would otherwise be wary (think Carillion!). I wouldn’t invest in anything that was too high. Even in my short investing career, I’ve been burned by a couple of 15+ dividend yield companies that I experimented with at the beginning and I wouldn’t do it again. Tricky of course is when you buy at 9% dividend yield and the price then crashes bringing the yield through the roof (Jupiter in my case), but that is part of the risk you take of course.
Given that there are other more established investment companies out there, I would be inclined to go for them. This is the view of a reasonably cautious investor though, albeit willing to take calculated risks, so don’t take it as absolute gospel. Someone with a more adventurous attitude to risk than I might have a different view.

This little fix really made my day, not sure when it was added but so happy I can filter my divis in the acivity tab (as well as buy/sell orders, top ups and withdrawals)

It was added a few weeks ago on iOS, and I think they must have rolled it back out on android in the last week. I think they initially rolled it back on android to fix and issue

What happens if your dividend includes fractions of a pence?
An example is that Abrdn Plc has had dividends of 7.3 pence
If the fractions of a pence don’t add up to one full pence do you loose the fractional amount?
@NeilB any ideas?
The amount of the dividend payment is truncated after multiplying by the number of shares, so yes, any fractional amount would be “lost”, but as it is based on the final figure, the most you would lose would be £0.01.

That eye-watering ongoing charge of 3.4% though
Everybody goes on about these charges? Why can’t I see any charge? When does this charge happen when buy shares cause I never seen it or when sell it?
And isn’t it why it’s called freetrade?
If somebody can explain or show me example would be great,
Yes I see it as scroll down on share page but never seen a charge come into play!??
Charges are taken directly from the fund value, you’ll never be charged but the fund value just decreases by a percentage every day.
This has nothing to do with freetrade. The charges are levied by the fund you buy shares in - in this case Edison properties.

So it’s charges behind closed and don’t actually see them that makes sense thanks

Its falling behind 212 for me now, doesnt justify £5 a month isa when 212 is free,$O paid out dividends yesterday and customers of 212 have it,yet again we wait.
Yep. I’m waiting for the end of September glut of ETF dividends. I’m already reconciling myself to the fact freetrade will be slow and i’ll have to wait days to reinvest my dividends. Yet my trading 212 dividends will be paid pretty quickly. i’m torn. i might move. feels a shame.
