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: 𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨! 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 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀. 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. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅-𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲. 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 don’t hesitate to ask me! Happy investing!
