Hi copiers! The end of the year is approaching fast. And that means another ending quarter as well. For the bond funds in our portfolio, this also means: ๐™™๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ž๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™จ! More than 50% of the holdings in our portfolio will receive dividends over the coming days and weeks, which is of course very good news. A very important thing to keep in mind, however, is that this will have a temporary effect on our stats. Initially, these dividends will be reflected as a loss, as there is a gap between the issuance date of the dividends (ex-dividend date) and the actual payout date of the dividends. Once the dividends are paid out, the stats ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€. This is not unique to me (nor limited to just bond funds), but to all dividend paying products. However, the effect on my portfolio will be outsized as I mostly invest in bond funds, and such a large portion of them will receive dividends in the coming days. Please keep this in mind when you start seeing red numbers pop up in your copy, or on my stats screen, and any sharp jumps in some of the normally extremely stable funds. ๐—ฉ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜: ๐——๐—ผ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜†. ๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ, ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—น ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜…-๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ. By year end, all the payments should be processed. Today, we already have the first batch of European iShares funds going ex-dividend! On another note, we have 1 fund in our portfolio which will expire next Tuesday (IBDP). The proceeds of this will be tunnelled into our other investments when I do the year end rebalancing of funds. If you have any questions, please donโ€™t hesitate to ask me! Happy investing!
