The last company in my holding “ Accordia Golf Trust “ announced the result and dividend on 25th May while I was still busy catching “Pokemon “ . Is time to calculate and tabulate my dividend & interest income to be received in coming months for 2nd Qtr 2017 .
Total Dividend & Interest Income for 2nd Qtr 2017 = $62,964.11
** Total amount receive still about $972 lower than last year (same period ) due to lower dividend from Accordia Golf Trust which reduced by - $1940.4 ( DPU 4.31 cts in 2nd Qtr 2016 vs 3.59 cts in 2017 ) .
*** Most of the REITs and Blue Chips also declaring lower dividends in view of challenging business environment, especially Oil & Gas sectors and Telco.
**** Increasing my holding in corporate bond from cash received, resulting an increase of interest income from $465 in 2nd Qtr 2016 to $5102.67 in 2nd Qtr 2017.
The dividend & Interest income for next 3 months will be lower as expected since most of the blue chips has declared the dividend in 2nd Qtr......
