Retirement Guru: Retirement Income from TSLY
Yesterday, I received my first dividend payout of USD96.61 from TSLY. If you follow me on Retirement Guru, you will know that I purchased 100 shares of this ETF in July 2024 at USD18.64 per share. Unfortunately, since then, there has been a market sell-off and TSLY closed yesterday at USD13.01. TSLY’s TTM is now 76.38% which means — if it remains constant — I can expect to receive total dividends of USD993.70 over the next 12 months.
Overall, as of today, my investment in TSLY is summarised below:
- Invested: USD1,864
- Dividend received to date: USD96.61
- Current Value of TSLY: USD1,301
- Cumulative Nett Returns: Negative USD466.39

To be honest, I am not worried as this is still a paper loss. Assuming TSLY’s dividend TTM stays constant, at the end of 12 months I will be up USD527.31 on this investment. Giving me a nett gain of 28.29% on my investment of USD1,864 while I still hold on to my original investment of 100 TSLY shares.
Most importantly, I received SGD89.68 (after the 30% US Withholding Tax I need to pay) this month that I can spend. If I am fully retired, this is good enough for…
