Our Freedom Portfolio
Our Freedom Portfolio has averaged 23.5% dividend income and capital gains each year since inception.
Dividends
shows the percentage in dividends paid out by each investment during the year.
Total Performance
shows the total performance from dividend income plus, (or minus), the share price gain (or fall). (As we take a longer-term view, we concentrate on higher dividends rather than share prices which fluctuate, but which we expect should appreciate over the longer term).
