S6 Ep 17Your Guide To ETF Dividends: Where They Go And How They Work

Are you intrigued by dividends in ETFs and how they function? If you're new to the realm of investing, you may have queries about ETF dividends, their frequency, and their influence on your portfolio. In this episode, we'll demystify the jargon to help you gain a better understanding of how dividends in ETFs operate and how they can bolster your investment strategies.The simple answer is yes - ETFs can indeed pay dividends. However, this depends on the underlying assets within the fund. An ETF, or Exchange-Traded Fund, is an investment fund that comprises a collection of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. If the assets within the ETF yield dividends, those payments will find their way into your portfolio. In essence, you'll receive the same amount of dividend as if you were the direct owner of the underlying assets.If you want to let Alec or Bryce know what you think of an episode, contact them here. Stay engaged with the Equity Mates community by joining our forum. Want more Equity Mates?

S6 Ep 13Should I make voluntary contributions to my super?

As you plan for retirement, one question that is likely to come up is whether you should contribute more to your superannuation or invest outside. The answer to this question is not straightforward! Of course, like all investing, it depends on various factors, including your retirement goals, income level, and tax implications. We explore the arguments for both options to help you make an informed decision.First question you need to answer is: when do you plan to step back from working? The current preservation age is 65. If you want to stop working before that age, you’ll need access to other finances. We then run through all the different questions and considerations for both arguments, and Bryce share our own strategies.

S6 Ep 8Bitesize: Stock vs ETF vs LIC: Understanding the Differences

You may have heard of stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and listed-investment companies (LICs), but what exactly are these options and how do they differ? In this Bitesize, Alec and Bryce define the terms for you - so you won't ever be confused again!Stocks represent ownership in individual companies. When you invest in stocks, you become a shareholder in that company and have an interest in its success. Historically, stocks have been one of the best-performing asset classes, but they are also known for their volatility.An ETF is a basket of securities, such as stocks or bonds, that trade on an exchange like a stock. When you invest in an ETF, you are buying a share of the entire portfolio, rather than investing in individual securities. This diversification helps to mitigate risk in your portfolio, and is one of the reasons ETFs have become increasingly popular.LICs, also known as closed-end funds in America, are similar to ETFs in that they offer diversification by investing in a portfolio of securities. However, LICs are actively managed, which means they are managed by a professional fund manager who makes decisions about which securities to buy and sell.Listen (or watch) the full episode here:Website | Apple | SpotifyMake sure you don’t miss anything about Equity Mates – visit this page if you want to support our work.Want more Equity Mates?
