Dividend Income June 2017
Over the first six months of 2017, my stock holdings have paid me the cummulative amount of USD 3’000 in dividends and I’m quite well on track for my full-year goal of USD 4’500.
In June, following eleven businesses from four different sectors paid me dividends in the the amount of USD 640 :
- consumer staples: Unilever, J.M. Smucker and Imperial Brands
- telecoms: Deutsche Telekom, Orange and Nokia
- automobile: Porsche Automobil Holding S.E.
- energy: Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron and ExxonMobil

Eight companies paid me around USD 800 in May (the Swiss Francs trades more or less at paritiy to the USD). Compared to the previous year that’s an increase of well over 10 % due to organic dividend growth (hikes) and reinvestments.
My projected dividend income for 2017 is around USD 4’500. Read more… »
