Wealth supervisor M&G‘s (LSE: MNG) one of many highest-yielding passive revenue shares on your complete FTSE 100 with a trailing yield of 9.44%. That’s why I purchased it.
If M&G can keep shareholder payouts I can anticipate a gradual stream of dividends over time. In actual fact, I obtained a cost as we speak, and didn’t need to carry a finger to get it. That’s why they name it passive revenue.
I purchased M&G shares on three events final 12 months – in July, September and November. In whole, I invested £4,000.
The M&G share value has gone nowhere, however I don’t care
The M&G share value plunged 13% in March after poorly-received full-year 2023 outcomes. Over one 12 months, the shares are up a modest 5.19%.
So what went incorrect and, probably extra importantly, why aren’t I anxious about it?
M&G had a stable 2023, in my opinion. Adjusted working revenue earlier than tax beat forecasts to leap 27.5% to £797m, beating consensus of £750m.
But the was inventory offered off as a result of traders had been disillusioned by a meagre dividend improve of only a tenth of a penny, from 19.6p to 19.7p. Dividend development’s been gradual, as this chart reveals, however given the sky-high yield, I’m not too anxious.

On 4 September, M&G disillusioned once more by reporting internet outflows of £1.5bn for the six months to 30 June. Adjusted pre-tax working earnings fell 3.8% to £375m.
Once more, I’m not too anxious, as a result of the market was risky over the summer time. In actual fact, I’m feeling fairly chipper as we speak, as most traders are, after week for each the FTSE 100 and S&P 500 within the US.
This isn’t the one dividend I’m getting
If the UK financial system picks up and the US Federal Reserve engineers a gentle touchdown, then M&G’s subsequent outcomes could also be loads brighter. Additionally, the dividend will look much more enticing as rates of interest fall and bond yields and financial savings charges comply with. Assuming that occurs, in fact. We’re not out of the woods but.
Whereas the share value has disillusioned, I’m pleased with my second revenue stream. In the present day’s £217.07 isn’t my first dividend. On 9 Could, M&G paid me a bumper £408.27. On 3 November final 12 months, I bagged £135.59.
So within the final 12 months, I’ve obtained a complete of £760.93. I routinely reinvest each penny. To this point my dividends have purchased me 364 additional M&G shares at no additional value, lifting my whole to three,289. These shares pays me extra dividends in future, which I’ll reinvest to purchase but extra M&G shares, in an limitless virtuous circle.
Dividends aren’t assured in fact. M&G has to generate the money to pay them. Additionally, if the share falls, what I’ve gained in revenue I may lose in capital.
Over the longer run, I anticipate to finish up comfortably forward on each fronts. So how do I plan to show these small, common funds right into a £1m portfolio? By investing in a ramification of dividend-paying shares that maintain sending me common money funds all year long, and reinvesting them many times and once more.
My second revenue’s turning into capital for my retirement, and I don’t need to do something to earn it. Other than purchase the shares within the first place.
