October & November
Dividend Income (Oct) – RM378.68
Dividend Income (Nov) – RM865.31
Dividend Income (2023) – RM18,413.32
Dividend Yield – 4.45%
Note: A slight mistake was made whereby October’s numbers were included in the last update’s Total. Rectified now.
The dividend yield of the portfolio is at 4.45%. We’ve surpassed last year’s RM16K in dividends last month.
Made some big changes to the portfolio.
Sold: Axis REIT, Nestle and TGUAN.
Bought: Matrix, SunREIT
Finally going to say goodbye to my beloved Nestle.
Reasons for selling is to re-optimise the portfolio. We’re sitting on RM75K in cash right now. I’ll be updating the portfolio’s holdings at the end of the year.
Looking to add more Matrix for the dividends and capital appreciation. And more into Maybank and Scientex in the near future if and when a drop occurs. We’ll bring dividend yield into the 5-6% territory.
No major updates on the US front, still about the same for VOO. eToro’s portfolio has gone up by a bit though.
August & September
Dividend Income (Aug) – RM983.15
Dividend Income (Sept) – RM3,772.99
Dividend Income (2023) – RM17,548.01
Dividend Yield – 4.43%
The dividend yield of the portfolio is at 4.43%. We’ve surpassed last year’s RM16K in dividends already. Don’t think we’ll get to RM20K this year but we’re getting there! If you’ve noticed, I’ve not been adding capital to my portfolio here for the past year, instead, I’ve just re-optimised the portfolio and it seems to be working.
The extra money has been dumped into my VOO on Rakuten Trade and most recently to ASM. You can find out more about my ASNB and ASM hERE.

TGUAN is maintaining its yield but the share price has really underperformed.

Received dividends from Sunway, TNB, FPI, Nestle, IGBREIT and AXIS REIT in April and May.
All dividends have increased or stayed the same, except for Sunway and AXIS REIT.
Nestle interestingly finally upped their dividends after many years. We should see it maintain/increase for the foreseeable future.
We moving up!
Updated my US Portfolio on Rakuten Trade as well:
Started DCA-ing religiously every month when the market was down. This is the result of about 6 months.
We’re up this month as well. USD continued its gain on MYR as well.

Also, added Maybank shares to the portfolio, sold Cypark.
I’d like to share a little update on my US Portfolio on Rakuten Trade as well.
Started DCA-ing religiously every month when the market was down. This is the result of about 6 months. Will be looking to buy only VOO for now via Rakuten Trade and continue with the DCA when the market drops. Sucks to see the value of our MYR..
