Projecting my 2017 Dividend amount

As mentioned in my yesterday blog post (Click here), my target dividend to achieve in 2017 is $3,985.

I am curious to find out IF I totally did not do anything to my portfolio, how much dividend I will receive at the end of 2017.


Let relook at my current portfolio as of 1st Jan 2017:

No.	Counters	No. of Shares
1	CapitaMall Trust	16,500
2	CapitaRetail China Trust	11,000
3	Keppel Corp	2,600
4	Vicom	2,000
5	Warchest	$10,076

Assuming dividend payout remain the same as 2016:

CapitaMall Trust
Total dividend declared in 2016: $0.1113
Projected dividend received in 2017: $1836.45 ($0.1113 x 16,500 shares)

CapitaRetail China Trust
Total dividend declared in 2016: $0.1055
Projected dividend received in 2017: $1160.50 ($0.1055 x 11,000 shares) 

Vicom
Total dividend declared in 2016: $0.2775
Projected dividend received in 2017: $555 ($0.2775 x 2,000 shares) 
Total Projected dividend received in 2017: $3551.95

(Keppel Corp shares was bought using CPFIS, therefore, not counted toward my dividend target)

So, I fall short of $433.05 for my 2017 dividend target if I were to do nothing :(

Since I still have a warchest of $10,076 to deploy, therefore, I should be able to achieve my 2017 dividend target and I am still ontrack to achieve my $24,000 dividend per year by 2037.

Summary of my portfolio - Dec 2016

No.	Counters	No. of Shares
1	CapitaMall Trust	16,500
2	CapitaRetail China Trust	11,000
3	Keppel Corp	2,600
4	Vicom	2,000
5	Warchest	$10,076

Quick summary:

• No transaction was made in the month of Dec

Total dividend received in 2016 is $2985.45

That work out to be $248.79/month of dividend.

My target is to achieve $2,000/month of dividend from 2037 onward (I will be 50 years old by then).

That work out to be additional $1,000 of dividend I need to add per year to achieve $24,000 by 2037.

Assuming 4% dividend rate, that mean I need to add $4,000 fresh cash per year to my portfolio.
