Track your dividends

Everyone loves passive income! Letting your capital work while you can do other things is magical. Dividends are undoubtedly one of the easiest ways to generate this income.

At a time when our assets are spread across many platforms (PEA, Life Insurance, Securities Accounts), it is difficult to have a good overview of the expected dividends. That was before.

Full visibility on your dividends

We scan all of your shares & funds with our unique technology in order to identify the stocks that pay dividends. We manage equities, mutual funds as well as ETFs distributing. In total, these are nearly 20,000 titles listed on all major stock exchanges that are taken into account. We also manage the conversion of different currencies to the euro.

This comprehensiveness allows us to accurately estimate the passive income you will receive thanks to these coupons over the next 12 months. The calendar door view even allows you to have the monthly amount of your passive income!

Calendar view of your upcoming dividends

We also show that the average return (or”Yield”) shares that pay a coupon. This indicator shows if these companies are generous by comparing the coupon to the stock price.

Expected and estimated dividends

Not all dividends are equal. It is necessary to differentiate between dividends whose payment is upheld, and those we let's forecast ! Explanations of the differences:

  • Dividend confirmed: the dividend has been confirmed by the company, and the payment date is known. If you hold the shares on the day the coupon is released, you will be paid! These dividends are identified with an icon.
  • Expected dividend: in order to provide maximum visibility over the long term, we estimate dividends over 12 months. To do this, we rely in particular on the history of the company in order to estimate the probability that it will pay a new dividend. We also take into account the specificities in terms of payment (quarterly for US companies, annual for European companies) and exceptional dividends. The amount is not guaranteed, but it is a good indication.

Payday

On the day the dividend is paid, you will receive a small notification announcing the good news! The icing on the cake: we indicate on which envelope the amount was paid. Thanks to this, you can quickly reinvest that amount and get the most out of compound interest.

That kind of good news!

We also show the history of all dividends paid since the feature was launched on Finary. This way, you can check that you haven't missed anything in terms of payments!
