244No dividend from Main Street Capital
Hall Community,
I have a question $MAIN (-0.14%) regarding. I have my securities account with TR and since last month I have not received my monthly dividend of $MAIN (-0.14%) not. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I alone in this?
Have a nice weekend

Scalable dividend
$NOVO B (-0.2%) Has anyone already received the dividend?$MAIN (-0.14%)
Portfolio conversion
Hello, I am currently considering changing my portfolio and switching to a core-satellite strategy.
My main part should be the $SPPW (+0.37%) with approx. 45%. After that, dividend stocks will follow: $NOVO B (-0.2%) with 10%, $O (-0.28%) with 5%, $MO (+0.14%) with 5%, $MAIN (-0.14%) 5% and $PG (-0.69%) at 10%.
The growth values should consist of $NVDA (+2.03%) , $AAPL (+0.65%) , $2330 and $ASML (+0.78%) with 5% each.
Would you sign this or would you change something?
Table with values for an easier overview:
MSCI World SPDR - 45%
Novo Nordisk - 10%
Realty Income - 5%
Altria - 5%
Main Street Capital - 5%
Procter & Gamble - 10%
Nvidia - 5%
Apple - 5%
TSMC - 5%
ASML - 5%
Changes I have made so far:
Reduce Novo nordisk and procter & gamble to 5% r and add 5% gold and btc each.
Otherwise, I share the motto that no individual value should exceed the 5% threshold.
Depot July 2025: My figures and impressions
Midsummer should be in full swing in July, but summer prefers to take a breather. While the temperatures outside were rather cool for most of July, which fortunately didn't keep me from swimming and hiking, it was hot in the depot. Time for a look back.
Overall performance
In July, the portfolio made a significant leap upwards, possibly due to further crypto adoption, good labor market data, robust quarterly reports and a further decline in inflation in a positive environment. The big icing on the cake is of course the continued incoming cash flow from dividends and distributions. My key performance indicators are:
- TTWROR (month of July): +3.82 % (previous month: +0.19 %)
- TTWROR (since inception): +72,72 %
- IZF (month of July): +46.14 % (previous month: 2.47 %)
- IZF (since inception): +10,87 %
- Delta: +€2,468.62
- Absolute change: +€3,677.52

Asset allocation
My asset allocation is as follows:
- ETFs: 38.3 %
- Equities: 59.0 %
- Crypto: 2.60%
- P2P: less than 0.01%
Investments and subsequent purchases
Here is a small overview of what I have invested via savings plans according to my fixed planning.
- Planned savings plan amount from the fixed net salary: €1,030
- Planned savings plan amount from the fixed net salary, incl. reinvested dividends: €1,140
- Savings ratio of the savings plans to the fixed net salary: 49.75
In addition, there were the following additional investments from returns, refunds, cashback, etc. as one-off savings plans/repurchases:
- Repurchases/one-off savings plans as cashback annuities from refunds: € 70.77
- Subsequent purchases from other surpluses: € 135.00
- Automatically reinvested dividends by brokers: € 4.04 (Function is only activated for an old custody account, as I control the reinvestment myself)
Additional purchases were made:
- Number of additional purchases: 3
- 61.96 € for $SPYD (-0.08%)
58.00 € for $GGRP (-0.31%)
90.00 € for $JEGP (-0.05%)
If you want to know how my cashback pension tops up my share and ETF pension, please let me know.
Passive income from dividends
My income from dividends amounted to € 222.47 (€ 93.27 in the same month last year). This corresponds to an increase of +138,52 % compared to the same month last year. The following are further key figures on the distributions:
- Number of dividend payments: 28
- Number of payment days: 12 days
- Average dividend per payment: € 7.95
- average dividend per payment day: € 18.54
The top payers are:
My passive income from dividends (and some interest) mathematically covered 27.12% of my expenses in the month under review.
Crypto performance
My crypto investments have also moved:
- Monthly performance portfolio: +9.49
- Performance since inception: +114.72 %
- Proportion of holdings for which the tax holding period has expired: 98.55%. Accordingly, there was one subsequent purchase in the month under review $ADA (+0.49%) ).
- Crypto share of the total portfolio: 2.60 %
Crypto remains exciting for me. Due to many external influences (ETF inflows, treasury companies, Genius and Clarity Act, ...), the question arises as to whether the cycle theory is beginning to falter. Or not? Will it be different this time?
Performance comparison: portfolio vs. benchmarks
A comparison of my portfolio with two important ETFs shows:
- TTWROR (current month): +3,28 %
- Vanguard FTSE All World Dist ETF: +5.23 %
- Vanguard S&P 500 Dist ETF: +6.41 %
Outlook and conclusion
Crypto remains exciting for me. Due to many external influences (ETF inflows, treasury companies, Genius and Clarity Act, ...), the question arises as to whether the cycle theory is beginning to falter. Or not? Will it be different this time?

First salary, first real investment
I am lucky enough to be under my parents' roof, great time to save as much as possible. The initial idea was to put in a world but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the exchange rate effect, with the euro/dollar at 1.17 I got shares of $MAIN (-0.14%) , monthly dividends and also growing strongly, slightly below average P/E and excellent future prospects, definitely penalized by the double taxation (15% US + 26% Italy) and the exchange rate, as dividends will be lower due to the weakness of the dollar.
Having said that I am still happy to have it in my portfolio, for the next month I will take a look at the healthcare sector, both individual stocks and ETFs, they have gone down a bit both last year and in the current year, should I be undecided I will definitely go and buy a global ETF.
First distribution from MAIN
Something cool happened today - my very first distribution from Main Street Capital arrived! 💵
Sure, it's only a small amount, but that's just how it starts. $MAIN (-0.14%) pays every month and invests in real companies - and now I'm in.
For me, it's like a little proof: the position is growing, the cash flow is starting, and at some point this mini-amount will turn into something really big. Step by step, payment by payment. 📈🌱

Sell or hold
Hello.
I have been holding for a few months now $MAIN (-0.14%) and am now up about 18%. I actually wanted to hold the share for the long term for the monthly dividend, but am now well up. I wanted to ask what you think. Should I continue to hold or sell for the time being and get back in when it corrects a bit?
