Here in the Pacific Northwest, summer seems to be in full swing but the days seem to alternate between clear and sunny and overcast and moderately humid (ugh). Still, that’s better than the typical grayshine and rain the region is most known for.

With the end of June comes the dividend income total for the month. So let’s do the numbers and see how well I did in June…

AWP $ 45.00
BGY $ 38.00*
CHW $ 21.00*
CIK $ 22.00*
CLM $ 44.43*
DHY $ 38.50
DMF $ 12.30
DSM $ 22.83
EAD $ 9.57
EDF $ 45.00*
EHI $ 30.00
EXG $114.00*
HQL $ 41.00
** $ 1.20
NCV $ 45.50
OIA $ 4.30
PFN $ 36.00
RA $ 69.85
VFL $ 15.00
ZTR $ 33.90
TOTAL $689.38

* Includes Return of Capital

With a total of $689.38, June’s dividend income was no high water mark (unlike May’s $844.18). But not every month is going to be a record setter, so $689.38 is certainly nothing to feel bad about at all.

The end of June also marks the end of 2017’s second quarter. Second quarter’s dividend total is $2369.74, which is 6.97% more than first quarter’s $2215.26 and 17.06% more than 2016’s second quarter ($2024.42). Nice!

Overall, with no dividend cuts causing any damage (Yaaayy!!) and only two quarterly dividend payouts, June was a solid month with no surprises. And in the world of dividend investing, a month without surprises is considered a win.
