Legal and General Dividends

Yesterday I received a dividend payment from Legal & General, split between two platforms – Trading 212 and Freetrade – totalling just over £29. Nothing life-changing, but every bit adds up, and this is exactly how the compounding game works.

Rather than reinvest it straight back into L&G, I decided to spread it out into three other positions. On T212, I used the fractional flexibility to top up ExxonMobil and Vici Properties, two holdings I’ve had my eye on for a while. Then on Freetrade, I picked up another share in Sage, continuing to build out that position too.

It’s a good reminder that dividend investing really does start to fund itself, even in small amounts. It might be slow at first, but over time these payments turn into real buying power – and the best part is, it all just keeps building.
