Dividend Income - April 2016

This month's dividend income came in at $293.96, a 9.1% increase over 2015's $269.36.




Dividend changes this month:
  • Unfortunately, LIQ decreased the monthly dividend 66.7% from $0.09/share to $0.03/share, decreasing our passive income by $154.80. The yield was quite high before (~14%) so it is more sustainable now but still a pretty big hit. 
  • BNS raised the quarterly dividend 2.9% from $0.70/share to $0.72/share, increasing our passive income by $3.52.
  • CM raised the quarterly dividend 2.6% from $1.15/share to $1.18/share, increasing our passive income by $1.92. This is the fourth time in a year for a total increase of 11.3%.
  • TRP raised the quarterly dividend 8.7% from $0.52/share to $0.565/share, increasing our passive income by $23.22. 
  • TD raised the quarterly dividend 7.8% from $0.51/share to $0.55/share, increasing our passive income by $9.12. 

Dividends in USD are converted to CAD using the monthly average exchange rates from the Bank of Canada.
