Dividend February 2017

So today I received my first dividends. As of now all the currency has been in USD, but now it's going to be hard to present it in USD. The exchange rate USD/SEK fluctuates and since the start of the year the dollar has decrease in value from 9.10432 to 8.94005. The money paid out to my account is in SEK.

Anyway from SDIV I got 18.23 SEK ($ 2.41) and from SPFF 16.46 SEK ($ 2.175). The SEK is after taxes and an exchange fee. The total amount for February is 34.69 SEK and my goal of  12 000 SEK for 2017 feels a bit high, but time will tell. I guess I might have to revisit them after the end of the quarter and make them more achievable.

New purchases

A couple of days ago I made some purchases to celebrate the coming of Spring!

• 40 SRET for $ 14.70 per share and a yield of 7.63 %.
• 8 TROW for $ 67.32 per share and a yield of 3.21 %.

SRET pays monthly and will add a total of $ 37.4 for this year. TROW pays a quarterly dividend and will in total pay $ 17.28. In total this amounts to a healthy $ 54.68 for 2017.

I'm a bit ambivalent when it comes to SRET (and also SDIV and SPFF) on the one hand I really like monthly dividend (fast feedback makes me  a happy camper) and the yield is high on the other hand I think that it is and investment with higher risk. I guess time will tell, but in the meantime I will enjoy my regular payments :). 

I've updated my portfolio and as always it can be found here.

Short term watchlist

My next purchases will be a couple of SRET (high yield and global exposure) and one of the following (ticker, yield, eps):

• KMB, 3.2, 20.27
• TROW, 3.2, 14.17
• MCD, 3.10, 22.67
