Shares : Dividends

[Dolby]

How does one know what shares have a dividend payout, how often and roughly what it is?

This should be of help: http://www.topyields.nl/Top-dividend-yields-of-JSE.php

Thanks !

There is also a SATRIX fund that incorporates the best dividend payers on the JSE, thus it gives you the spread that is useful.

Good Idea Shi. I personally use the Satrix DIVI but it's been a bit slow for the past year or so.

Dividend investing might seem promising but a lot of them are penny stocks so one should be careful using just Dividend payouts to pick stocks.

One can possibly also check http://www.google.com/finance for the companies you are interested in. I haven't check all the info they show but have seen they show the dividend payment date history at the bottom of the graph, so if you choose say a 10 year period it will also show the regularity and such.

Have a look at Moneyweb or sharenet's websites of that share and you should be able to see a share history. Also your trading platform should provide this information.

You can get a list of shares that have paid dividends over the last 12 months. This should be pretty indicative.

Good read on this option: http://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-soapbox/opinion-the-downside-of-investing-in-the-satrix-di

I also have a divi but performance has been sub par.

A ignoramus' guide to buying shares which I have given out over many years is to buy shares from companies who have a record of consistently paying dividends

This means they are properly run and will grow. Never fais

A very good example is Richemont SA

Plenty DRPs on the market. Just research the company and you'll find it easily. If they don't advertise it then just pop a mail to their investor relations department and they'll guide you. Or speak to your advisor. But in short, yes, it's commonplace...

Ill do a bit of research at work tomorrow.

I'm not entirely familiar with the SA market, only FTSE, which is why I ask.

Anglos have one.
You're still paying dividend tax though.

If you want an etf with one, look at ABSA's momentum.
