Introducing Auto-Update Dividend Tracker: Automatically Track Your Dividend Income Growth!

Tired of manually adding up dividends in your portfolio tracker? We know it’s a chore, which is why we’re launching Auto-Update Dividend Tracker, a powerful new function to automatically track and display your portfolio’s dividend income. The feature is named the Auto-Update Dividend Tracker, abbreviated as Auto-Dividend

What is Auto-Dividend?

Auto-Dividend automates the tracking of dividends from your stock holdings. It calculates and displays potential payouts, giving you a realistic view of dividend growth.

How It Works

Auto-Dividend simplifies tracking your portfolio’s hypothetical dividend income, whether you’re starting fresh or managing an existing portfolio.

For New Portfolios

Creating a new portfolio? Auto-Dividend is designed to be seamless from the start:

  • Auto-Activation: Any new portfolio you create will have Auto-Dividend automatically activated.
  • Populate Your Portfolio: Simply add your desired dividend-paying stocks to your new portfolio.
  • Instant & Future Simulations: Our system will instantly identify and simulate dividend payouts, including future projected payouts. You won’t need to do any manual input!
  • Real-time Visualization: You’ll immediately see simulated payout dates, amounts, and your cumulative dividend income, all updating automatically within your portfolio as you add stocks.

For Existing Portfolios

If you have an existing portfolio, we’ve made it easy to get up to speed with Auto-Dividend:

  • Check Activation: Head over to “Manage Portfolio” to check if Auto-Dividend is activated for your existing portfolio. You can activate it there if it isn’t already.
  • Populate & Simulate: Once activated, simply add or review your dividend-paying stocks in your existing portfolio. Our system will then instantly identify and simulate dividend payouts, including future projected payouts, just like with new portfolios.

Important Notes on Auto-Dividend:

  • Applicability: Auto-Dividend currently applies only to newly created portfolios and existing portfolios that contain transactions.

  • Manual Control: You always have the option to manually deactivate Auto-Dividend if you prefer to track dividends yourself.
  • Historical Updates: If you entered dividend stock transactions before Auto-Dividend activation, those historical dividends will be updated and reflected twice daily at 2 PM and 11 PM (Malaysia Time). This ensures your past data is accurately reflected.

Auto-Dividend makes managing your dividend income effortless, providing clear, automated insights into your portfolio’s potential.
