March finally showed some sizeable downward trend, resulting in a loss of more than 30K Euro (-6.57%). It also marks the first investments of the year, a bit more than 10K Euro, split more or less equally among iShares Emerging Market, Vanguard North America and Vanguard All World (this ETF is for the mortgage payment).
I saw quite a lot of people freaking out but for me this was almost long overdue. Also, this is not exactly my first rodeo at this point, as you can see from the graph below.
You can clearly see the curve black line (the portfolio value) dipping down, but the same happened already a few times before. No stress.
Dividend-wise, March was disappointing as only iShares Emerging market (260 Euro) and iShares S&P500 High Div Low Vol (193 Euro) paid dividends. The payout of the other 2 ETFs that historically paid dividends in March moved to April, dont really know why honestly.
That said, in the last 12 months the total dividends accumulated exceeded 6,000 Euro, meaning I am averaging 500 Euro per month!
