Month review of my Vrijheid Fonds – February 2019
It is time to tell you how my month of February was. And I’m happy, because this is a blog post about my favorite topic, dividends! I hope this post inspires other people out there to start saving and investing as soon as they can. The power you feel knowing that you are richer than you were yesterday and you didn’t have to work a minute for it, is a wonderful feeling.
Dividend
In total I received €170.62 ($194.13) in passive income in February. My Vrijheid Fonds had two dividend increases! Realty Income raised its dividend with 2.04% and AT&T with 2.00%. In total my Vrijheid Fonds has had already 4 dividend raises this year.
If we take a closer look, the dividend was coming from:
- AT&T (T) €59.04
- Omega Healthcare Investments (OHI) €71.00
- Procter & Gamble (PG) €20.36
- Realty Income (O) € 20.21
That makes a total of €170.62. This is an increase of almost 11% from last years February! However in 2018 my mutual Fund: Kempen European High Dividend – X, paid its dividend in February and this year in March. So if we adjust this, My Vrijheid Fonds has a 24.5% increase from last years February.
What a great result, I’m proud of it. DGI at work!

In 2019 I received a total in passive income of €291.83
Vrijheid Fonds
If we take a look at my Vrijheid Fonds (Freedom Fund), we can see that the value is higher than last month. 🙂 My total portfolio value at the end of February is $109,242, which is an increase of 1.04% over last month (€108,115). I donated € 400 of fresh capital to my Vrijheid Fonds and I bought € 100 worth of mutual Funds for my “Safe-haven-sleep-well”part of my Vrijheid Fonds.
I didn’t make a new buy in stocks, only some additional shares of a mutual fund in my “Safe-haven-sleep-well” part of my Vrijheid Fonds.
This month I finally got to write down my new goals for 2019, just take a look.
Again this month I made a nice step in my journey.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,
Pollie
Note:
Because all figures I give are in Euro’s. Because the exchange rates is not constant (duh…) my passive income changes per month (even if the dividend stays the same). For the record: I only post my passive income from dividend the month I received it on my brokers account. And it is after taxes.

Looks like I share three dividend payers with you from February. I am only missing PG and I would not mind adding that to my portfolio too!
Your freedom fund growth looks also really solid.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks. And welcome to my site. I’ll take a look at your site this week

Those are nice increases Pollie!
How do you decide whether to enlarge your existing positions or buy new ones?
Thanks, I just do analysis of my current positions and some possible companies. And of course I look at the current price.
Great stuff Pollie! Solid results and companies. I should know because all of your companies payed me as well! 🙂
