I reviewed my ASW dividend calculation for the period 01 Sept 2018 – 31 Aug 2019. I have only made investments for this entire period, without any withdrawals (sell back). Based on the [(0.05/12) * lowest monthly balance], I do not get the same amount of dividend – it appears to be less, when it should be higher.
Has anyone ever checked their dividend calculations? Am I calculating correctly?
Best regards.
