My Portfolio's Transactions:
September 4, 2025
- I closed my position in The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC) by selling 100 shares at $26.93 per share, plus commission. Based on the current exchange rate, this divestment will reduce my expected annual net dividend income by €101.69.
September 5, 2025
- I purchased 52 shares of JPM Nasdaq Equity Premium Income Active UCITS ETF (JEQP.DE) at €21.74 per share plus commission.
Based on the latest announcement, JEQP will pay a dividend of $0.1795 per share for September. Over the past ten months, JEQP has declared a total dividend of $2.0451 per share. If the current level continues, this would imply an annualized dividend of $2.45412 per share.
At today’s
exchange rate, my purchase of 52 shares of JEQP will increase my
expected annual net dividend income by €76.21. Following this
acquisition, my yield on cost stands at 9.46%, with JEQP now
representing approximately 1.09% of my portfolio and accounting for
about 2.40% of my future annual dividend income.
For the time
being, my strategy is to continue building my JEQP position gradually
through monthly purchases.
