Having sold out of one company and invested the returns into another just yesterday, I thought it would be interesting to share a list of my current stocks & shares. I utilise an account with Trading 212 and hold my portfolio there in a Stocks ISA. None of these are necessarily recommendations for you to invest your hard-earned money in, it is here as an item of interest and a reference for myself in the future.
I won’t discuss the value of each of the investments, but I will show the current portfolio allocation. Majority of these investments have been made because these fourteen companies have a proven track record of paying dividends!
BAE Systems ~ 17.20%
Domino’s Pizza ~ 13.89%
Realty Income ~ 13.63%
eBay ~ 13.55%
Microsoft ~ 13.53%
National Grid ~ 5.42%
Land Securities ~ 5.19%
Legal & General ~ 4.81%
AG Barr ~ 3.85%
Renewables Infrastructure Group ~ 3.59%
Brickability ~ 2.87%
Intel ~ 1.82%
Rio Tinto ~ 0.65%
I’m currently not adding additional funds to my investments, but any money paid into my Trading 212 account via Dividends, gets reinvested as soon as possible! One nice thing with Trading 212, is that they currently pay 5.10% AER on cash held in your account.
The inherent goal with this account is to, one day, be receiving dividend income that covers my living expenses. (I have a long way to go!)
If you would like to join Trading 212 yourself, there’s a promotion that allows you to get a free share when you register via this link.
(If you do use this link, I will also gain a free share once you add your first funds to your account.)
