May 2019 Dividend Income

Hello and welcome to my dividend income post for May. In this post I will show you everything that happened in my portfolio. I will share all of the income I received from the 14 stocks and 1 ETF that paid me. Also all of the dividend increases (5) that I received and finally all of the trades I made (5).

In May I was paid a total of $482.69 from 14 stocks and 1 ETF in all three of my investment accounts. The account breakdown is as follows:

• RRSP $261.21
• TFSA $219.26
• LIRA $2.22

Two of the stocks that paid me were US based and so I received some US money. Here is the breakdown of the currency that was received:

• Canadian $407.87
• US              $74.82

To keep things nice and easy I pretend the US money is Canadian that way I don’t have to convert it.

RRSP

	2018	2019
Royal Bank of Canada	$72.38	$78.54
Bank of Montreal	$66.03	$71.00
AbbVie		$64.20
Inter Pipeline		$36.85
Realty Income	$13.14	$10.62
BMO US Dividend ETF	$31.81
Pizza Pizza Royalty Corp	$16.97
Total	$200.33	$261.21

A quiet month for my RRSP account as not too many stocks pay me. My income did see a nice increase from my purchases of AbbVie and Inter Pipeline last December.

TFSA

	2018	2019
Laurentian Bank		$61.75
Inter Pipeline	$32.62	$34.84
Keg Royalties Income Fund	$15.70	$28.38
Plaza REIT	$23.61	$24.61
BMO International Dividend ETF		$22.23
Chorus Aviation	$17.48	$18.16
Boston Pizza Royalties Fund	$12.31	$12.31
Canadian Apartment Properties REIT	$8.85	$9.55
Artis REIT	$14.22	$7.43
Corus Entertainment	$18.05
Total	$142.84	$219.26

A fairly busy month for my TFSA since most of the stocks are monthly dividend payers. The big reason for the income boost is from Laurentian Bank which I bought last fall.

LIRA

	2018	2019
Diversified Royalty Corp		$2.22
Enbridge Income Fund	$26.55
Total	$26.55	$2.22
