October 2017 : Investment Portfolio Status


My forward dividends reached $679.88, this a 12.93% increase from previous month. Getting closer to my goal of $750 in forward dividends. I hope to reach it by end of this year.

My overall investment portfolio grew by 10.13%. 8.07% of this growth came through infusion of new capital (inorganic growth). 2.06% of the growth came through change in stock market valuations(organic growth). S&P 500 ETF is 41.1% of my portfolio.

Average expense ratio is 0.10%.

  1. Congrats Div Geek. I have a similar goal, to reach $700 by year's end, although I don't think it's going to happen. Almost getting ready to hit $600. Nearly 13% increase from last month is impressive. Looking forward to seeing how you do next month.

  6. You beat me on growth and dividend collections this month. But I still got you a little bit in forward dividends. I'm sure you will surpass me soon though. I better stay on it then. Nice month.
