Dividend raise: Kempen Global High Divididend fund

Parallel to investing in individual dividend growth stocks I also invest €100 into two mutual funds. One fund is a mixed fnds with both bonds, shares and some liquid assets. This fund automatically reinvests all the dividends and interest payments, resulting in a higher price.

The other mutual fund, Kempen Global High Dividend Fund, pays a quarterly dividend. This dividend was raised for 2017.

The quarterly dividend is raised from €0.33 to €0.35 per share. This is a dividend raise of 6.06%. The current price for the fund is €31.40, a dividend yield of 4.46%.
At the moment I own 11.5 shares of this mutual fund so this raise increases my yearly dividend with 78 cents.
However, I purchase for €50 each month and reinvest the dividend automatically.

The first payment will be in February the exact date is not set yet.

Dividend Update

It's been quiet here on the blog for a while now. Nothing's wrong but I was very busy at work and at home and didn't feel the energy to write some blogs. But now that everything is calming down a bit, it is time to pick up where I left off. I've been investing a bit in the last month. I bought 10 extra UNA shares and also 11 shares of OHI. Both when they were dipping after their reported Q3 results. Also I started investing in a new Mutual fund, which invests mainly in bonds. In total I invested just short of 900 Euros for an expected anual dividend increase of €33. I also collected dividends in september and october. In september I received €58.82 an increase of 270% compared to last year. In november I received €15.58, an increase of 80% compared to last year.

May 17: Dividend income

June has already started so it is time to report my dividend income in May. May was a better month than February, but it could have been even better. Because the dollar took a hit compared to the Euro, my income in Euro's suffered a bit. I received dividend from the follwing companies: Whitestone REIT (WSR): €5.39 Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI): €19,31 Texas Instruments (TXN): €1,53 Abbvie (ABBV): €1,47 Kempen Global High Dividend Mutual Fund: €4,86 (DRIP) Total net dividend income was €32,56, breaking the €100 YTD and almost equalling the total dividend income of 2016. I cannot compare this month's income with last year, because last year I didn't receive any dividends. How was your May dividend income? I will updat my dividend income page soon..

Recent purchase: BNS

With the money I had from the sell of ABBV I expanded on my BNS position. I bought another 4 shares. For my net dividend income the sell and buy have a small impact. I lost €8 by selling ABBV and I gained €10.60 by buying BNS. I bought BNS at $62.55 a share. With a quarterly dividend of $0.63, BNS yields 4%.
