📊 Dividend year 2025 → Outlook 2026 💸

I try to document our development transparently - not as a

not as a "showcase", but as motivation of what discipline and time can achieve.


2025 was a strong year for us:

$

  • Share price gains: +8.65 %
  • Dividend yield: +2.02 %
  • Total return (IZF): +10.46 %
  • TWROR: +7.03 %


This puts us well ahead of inflation,

which means that our assets are growing in real terms

so our money is not losing purchasing power, but gaining it. 💪


The difference between IZF and TWROR also shows that

Our savings plans ran particularly efficiently during weaker market phases - in other words

precisely when many people hesitate or pause.

This pays off in the long term. 📈


💰 Dividend development:


In 2025, we received around € 3,390 net in dividends - which

which corresponds to around € 282 monthly cash flow.

The forecast for 2026 is already around € 3,670,

i.e. an increase of around +8 %.

All distributions will of course be reinvested. 🔁


🔹 Our structure:


  • 500 € VWRL - global basis for growth & stability 🌍
  • 500 € TDIV - focus on dividend strength and growth
  • Vanguard FTSE High Dividend (VHYL) - high income focus 💰
  • 100 € Bitcoin - store of value & admixture ⚡️
  • Individual stocks such as Allianz, BlackRock and an S&P 500 ETF


We deliberately focus on distributing ETFs,

not because they necessarily generate higher returns,

but because of the psychological effect:

💬 "To see cash flow is to feel progress."


Long-term goal:

A steadily growing, globally diversified cash flow,

that gives us financial security -

and grows above inflation year after year.


How are you doing?

👉 Will your return also be above inflation in 2025?

👉 Do you reinvest everything or do you use some of your dividends?

I also use broadly diversified global ETFs, but I have only chosen accumulating products in order to invest as tax-optimized as possible.
In the meantime, I tried my hand at individual stocks with high yield potential and high dividend growth, but scrapped these plans as they contradicted my original strategy.

@BruceBullridge sounds like a clearly thought-out strategy. I think it's great if you are clear and honest with yourself and stubbornly and steadily pursue your strategy. Maximum return for you and have a great Sunday!

My dividend yield on the invested capital is currently 1.6%. This year it should be just under €5,000 gross, significantly less than in 2024, as I have made some changes to my portfolio.
The change will of course have a positive impact on the yield. It is currently almost 15% diluted, despite the weakness of the dollar, where my portfolio consists of 94% 🇺🇸.

I am not yet dependent on dividends, but I am still looking forward to the cash flow and many quality companies pay dividends.

@Simpson Some see dividends as capital return destroyers, others as prepaid profits. As long as the dividend discount does not generate serious losses overall, dividends are profits for me without the expense of having to sell.

Personally, I try to keep my dividend yield above 2%, i.e. above the ECB inflation target rate. Currently at 2.78% for me. Whether that makes sense - I don't know. It's more than overnight money and the shares are still growing.

Thanks for this insight! I see dividends as "supporting" elements, not as the core business or main source of profit.

@Qheherain great 👍 I definitely see it the same way! Thanks for your comment 😊 Have a great Sunday!

We also had a very successful year. The dividend yield (4.05%) will fall next year because we have disposed of two covered call ETFs (high payout but destroying capital).
Total return: 11.66%
TWROR: 9.83%
Capital gains: 3.97%

Things are going well so far. 3120€ gross dividend, for 2026 I am shown a good 9% increase. Otherwise for 2025
TWROR: 18 %
IZF: 24.7 %
Let's see whether the share price picks up again at the end of the year or not.
