I am continuing my review of my stock portfolio:
Dividends collected:
Total dividends in 2013: $5,717.51
Average monthly dividend: $476.46
Annual portfolio yield: 5.54%
In comparison,
Total dividends in 2012: $3,590.86
Average monthly dividend: $299.24
This represented an increase of 59.2% in dividends collected.
Best dividend yielder in my portfolio:
(based on dividends collected against stock values at Christmas 2013)
1. SPH: 9.83%
- Included special dividend after listing SPH Reit
2. FE Orchard: 9.78%
- Included special dividend after listing FEHT
- I did not add the free Yeo Hiap Seng shares here, if added, FE Orchard would be the best performer.
3. HPH Trust: 9.17%
- This is probably due to weakening of the HPHT stock value than anything else.
- Need to monitor closely in 2014.
Worst dividend yielder in my portfolio:
1. CapitaMalls Asia: 1.65%
- Consigned to the dustbin
2. CapitaLand: 2.32%
- Sleeping giant. I am still holding and will divest it when the price is right.
3. Hyflux: 2.72%
- Consigned to the dustbin.
