I did buy before the 19th March ex date, but I don't understand the amount paid out. Hmmm, looking at historical figures shows that this was "a biggy" - Vodafone?
Yes it was Vodaphone that made an unusually big divi payment.

BestInvest.
The dividends are sometimes the odd day or so late (even when not on a weekend) but the information with each payment lets me check things easily.
However, as I now have 20 different shares in my SIPP (ETFs, ITs, REITs, infrastructure funds) there is a regular flurry of dividends. I'm currently letting them build up, but I guess should park in a global fund with a small spread until my annual rebalance?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

I was thinking of getting some VEUR with them, but as the ISA limits went up today and I have a Nationwide Flexaccount so can get 1.75% in an instant cash ISA I put them in that instead. Even 1.75% seems like a good rate compared with what others I've seen.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0 -
VWRL and VFEM paid today (2nd July) on IWeb, exchange rate 0.582.0

Mine also paid and I got 1/1.713279799=0.58367582...
I think this means I got a slightly better exchange rate via BestInvest but I got the dividend on the 1st.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Vanguard are cutting charges again from 1st September according to a number of news sources
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/funds/11060683/Tracker-fund-prices-fall-again-but-beware-the-big-catch-on-low-cost-funds.html
Some ETF examples:Tom Rampulla, a managing director at Vanguard, said: "Existing investors will automatically benefit from the new charges, as they always do when we lower the cost of our funds. These fee reductions are business as usual for Vanguard.”
Vanguard S&P500 ETF now 0.07%pa OCF (was 0.09%)
Vanguard FTSE 100 UCITS ETF 0.09% OCF (was 0.1%)
Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF 0.12% OCF (was 0.15%)
Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF 0.25% OCF (was 0.29%)
And the most notable fund decrease is:
Vanguard UK equity tracker fund, which tracks the FTSE all share 0.08% OCF (was 0.15%)I came, I saw, I melted0 -
Looks like I'll be selling my VWRL and buying VUSA, VEUR and VJPN! (I already hold some VAPX and VFEM).
All I'll have missing is Canada, which doesn't bother me too much. I think they do a lot of digging and I hold some Blackrock World Mining anyway!I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

If you are selling them why not just put it all in Lifestrategy direct with Vanguard, not through a platform?gadgetmind wrote: »Looks like I'll be selling my VWRL and buying VUSA, VEUR and VJPN! (I already hold some VAPX and VFEM).

What would their fees be?
Do they provide ISAs and SIPPs?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

The fees would be the normal Lifestrategy fund fees, without the platform fee. You can only fund it by debit card from your bank account. They don't hold your cash, they pay dividends etc direct to your bank account. No online account as such, you contact them by phone to buy or sell. Presumably safer as one less thing to go wrong if platform(s) suffered cyber attack or whatever?
