Vanguard Lifestrategy dividends?

simonfitba

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find out what the dividends were for the Vanguard Lifestrategy 80% Acc fund. I've found nothing on the web.

According to Hargreaves Landsdown the dividend was due to be paid on May 31.

Cheers

An Acc fund is an accumulation fund which pays no dividends. The Inc (income) fund version does that.

In an Acc fund the dividends are reflected in a higher unit price, no dividends are physically paid out.

I was just wondering how to work out what the dividends were to find out the yield. The income version doesn't say either.

best to ask them

The price for accumulation is higher than that for income so looks like it. How do you pay the £2 per month, cash sitting in the ISA account? What if there is none?

I'm soon to be 28 years old but have lost a lot of money on stupid stock market investments. Now I'm wary... what ratio of equities would you choose? I know I should be going for 80% but I feel 60% might be more suitable given what I've been through!!

So about 2% yield or am I reading that wrong?

Got a decent paying job and staying at home so saving a small fortune each month right now. Wasted near half of life savings on poorly performing AIM shares (DAMN) DESPITE having read books like the one you suggest... I was a fool. No debt other than student loan (£8k which I'm slightly overpaying). Savings £22k (should be closer to £40k).

My total goals now are to:
-fill my Lloyds Vantage accounts
-Use the First Direct 8% saver
-Get £5 per month from Halifax
-Think about getting the 6% HSBC account
-hold onto my one remaining AIM share (65% down at a loss near £7k)
-regularly invest £100 (to begin with) into LifeStyle 60% accumulation
-regularly pay into work pension matched up to 4% or so (this has been losing a small amount of money but I don't care if it never grows as such, as the money matching is basically a 100% gain in itself, no?)

The big trade-off is something different and perhaps you can help if you have more life experience. I've been given the preliminary offer of some jobs either down South or in Europe. Current salary approx £35k in Scotland (it is a great job) where housing isn't TOO expensive compared England/European capital cities. I feel I should be earning more and the offers reflect this - upward of £40k in the UK or offers of $60k+ in Germany (but they tax heavily).

My predicament is that I will save more staying at home even if the salary is lower - but at the cost of damaging long-term earnings growth. At the same time, I DO want to pay off a property and where I am now presents a decent chance of that (still expensive, though!). No WAY would I get or want a mortgage in Munich or South of France at this stage (too expensive, anyway). So at 28 years old having lost a lot of money gambling (yes) on shares... do I remain at home and save hard or LIVE a bit more, see the world and grow my earnings despite the reduction in savings that will follow (they'll reduce from £1k per month to approx £400-500 a month, I'm guessing). Tough one - and of course, do I want to earn Euros right now?

For varying reasons (rich parents, high paying jobs in oil & gas) my other friends should do pretty well in life. It's been a struggle to get where I am now and I don't want to mess up.
