Hi,
Could you share your portfolio so we can take a look? You can reach out to our support team at support@portfolioslab.com, and we’ll investigate if there are any issues on our side.
Yeah, it's hard to say. To provide a more accurate answer, we need to look into details, as multiple factors could contribute to differences in dividend yield figures. There might be discrepancies in data sources for dividend calculations. On PortfoliosLab, we rely on dividend data feed from our data provider that contains gross figures, whereas your brokerage might export dividend data net of taxes and other deductions. Or there might be differences in the methodology. For example, we calculate dividend yield based on the total dividend value paid over the past 12 months, but others might calculate forward dividend yield or use annualization. Dividends might be reinvested, making them appear differently in transactions. The portfolios themselves must also be identical. The public portfolio you’ve shared is equally weighted, but the actual allocation might have varied over the past year. If you added or removed positions during the year, that would also impact the results. Transactional portfolios are more precise in this regard, so it may be worth importing your transactions instead of using a static allocation if your goal is to obtain a precise dividend yield figure.
As you can see, there are many possible reasons for discrepancies across platforms. I haven’t noticed anything immediately unusual on our website. However, as mentioned earlier, our support team is happy to assist further if needed. Please note that additional information might be required for a deeper investigation.
I am confused as well.
I just came across this website. "It's very nice and shiny, but does it work and will it help me?", is what I wonder with every new one I come across. So here I am, checking it out. ...and I find it WANTING; or, at least, I find myself confused. And if that is the conclusion I come to, in the end, and it's the only one I may have, then it would logically lead me to NOT use your site nor recommend it to others... if data, any data, is inaccurate or confusing.
I presume you'd prefer I DO use your site, so I have a question for you.
Your calculations for dividend yield appear to be WAY OFF for this offering. I have looked elsewhere, in many spots, including the providers own site and even they do not agree with your metrics. According to the information I have, TD Canadian Equity Index ETF (TTP.TO) pays out QUARTERLY not monthly and its current dividend is 2.8% NOT the 11.54% stated here. That info is directly from the providers own page. Yahoo Finance agrees, telling us that TTP had four distributions in 2024 totalling 72 cents, far from the $3.26 you have posted. So, what gives? What is it that I am missing?
