Annual Dividend Payments

[timmy30]

Kwowing what a bunch of money bags the PH fraternity are I was hoping someone could help me.

I can't seem to find a website where UK stock quotes give the annual ( total ) dividend payments for a company.

For example FT.com gives 2.2p for Vodafone, which is the last dividend paid, not the total dividend.

Oh failing that anybody know of a site that has an example UK income portfolio that I coudl just emulate

I don't know of a single website. I sometimes need this information for preparing personal tax returns and it can be found on the company's own website usually. You have to make sure you include both interim and final dividends though.

And the problem is that on my brokers site in some cases they give the full dividend ( probably because the co only pays once a year ) for others it's the latest ( so maybe interim ) and some it's just plain out of date.

FYI what I'm looking to do is spring clean my portfolio and angle it towards large 'safe' companys paying a hefty dividend yeild, then I'm going to hope that someone manages to persuade the government that the policy of forcing fund money into long dated bonds and out of equities is lunacy.....either that or just profit as the UKs best companys are bought cheaply by overseas companys as a result..... who ironically will probably be using the excellent income stream of many UK companies to pay their own pensioners. Meanwhile I'll have some nice divis coming in

Tim,
you could try www.iii.co.uk - it's where I keep track of my "portfolio" such as it is. For each share there is a tab called "Fundamentals" which lists record dates, ex-div and payment dates for both interim and final dividends, going back several years.

Excellent, thanks Charles, that's just what I was after

Hey it even gives a single simple, upto date 'Dividend Yield' under that Fundamentals tab.
