Megathread - šŸ”„ Dividend Fest šŸ”„

Yes, but thereā€™s an annoying lapse. I too got my Abdn dividend today - the notification etc came through after market close, about 4.30, and the activity is the last thing in my tab. However, my balance hasnā€™t increased since a trade I made at about 3.15. If a rolling balance was implemented, it would help this this frustrating issue where youā€™re expecting extra funds, only to find theyā€™ve already been accounted for earlier in the day.

Fully agree and me too. Thank you FreeTrade if this is fixed.

Having said that, I know end September is a busy time and Iā€™m expecting 11 more dividends before the end of September. I donā€™t expect it to be instant but itā€™s when UK stocks are serveral days late that I get irritated.

Yes this week the dividends were paid on time with exception of us stocks which takes a few days letā€™s hope this is the end for the delays

I didnā€™t receive last Fridayā€™s dividends until yesterday evening but am due AV today and NESF on Friday, so Iā€™ll hopefully get these on time now.

Thereā€™s still a boat load of etf dividends Iā€™m waiting on.

I have started getting most of my stock (individual company) dividends a lot closer to on time. I also got Abrdn on the day.

I see freetrade are at least moving in the right direction.

Looking on dividenddata.co.uk ,I can see that for dividends September is the dividend equivalent of Heathrow airport at rush hour.

That bad?.

Check the contents of the dividends ā€¦ those dastardly luggage controllers have probably had a good rifle through :grin:

I am missing Sept div payments from:
Ā£UKX
Ā£VHYL (due 30th TBF)
Ā£NESF
Ā£IUKD

Again, not much, but not a great start to my DIV collections

NESF pay date is tomorrow.

VHYL and IUKD due for payment on the 28th Sept. I got paid today. Waiting for my V3AM payment.

My IUKD came in today, and I wasnā€™t expecting NESF until tomorrow.
I wonā€™t go chasing late payments unless itā€™s been a few days since the expected date.

Thanks all, I guess Iā€™m just a bit overly twitchy - see how the next few days pan out

You can easily track with an app ā€˜stock eventsā€™.

Makes things nice & easy to track as well as estimating the yearly estimations based on share quantities held

Has both app & a linked website

+1 for this but beware of incorrect ex-div and payment dates for some stocks occasionally. Probably best used along with the free Dividend Max notification service.

Also, Iā€™ve never had a response to any support emails Iā€™ve sent to them.

Thanks both

Just got my IUKD too.

Absolutelyā€¦

Ive noticed on it if you enter the ā€˜simpleā€™ price then it can get way out as it doesnt pick up a starting point, and seems to calculate dividends from start of the year (as if its always been owned)

by adding in actual transation dates it becomes more nuancedā€¦

But if theyre getting the data wrong then its the old adage ā€œgarbage in, garbage outā€

Maybe FT should partner up?

Dividends for my holding of V3AM has not arrived. Not to worry, the Ā£5 due will come sooner or later.

My dividend for GLAD is due today, yet nothing and I highly doubt itā€™ll arrive tomorrow as its not a weekday - hopefully things will improve
