Decrease in Estimated Annual Dividends

The Estimated Annual Dividend for the FiveTwenty portfolio decreased week over week. The decrease was caused by the closing of our position in WBD following the company’s suspension of their dividend payouts.

We also closed our positions in ECG and SOLV. We received the ECG and SOLV shares were received as part of the spinout transactions that created the companies. Closing these positions has been long overdue since neither of the two companies has initiated a dividend.

The proceeds from the sale will be reinvested over the coming weeks into VIG & VIGI.

Decrease in Estimated Annual Dividend

The Estimated Annual Dividend for the FiveTwenty portfolio decreased week over week. The decrease was caused by LEG cutting its quarterly dividend from $0.46 to $0.05 per share starting with the Q2 2024 payout.

What does this mean for our position in LEG? With this latest dividend cut the yield for LEG has dropped to 1.43%, which is far below our desired target. Therefore, we will be looking to close or position in LEG in the coming week.
