PSX Tracker guide
Tracking PSX dividends and cash income
Dividends are income, not the same as selling shares. Recording them cleanly keeps Total Return and cash movements honest.
Dividend events
Add a dividend (or fund payout) with the ex/payment date, gross or net amount, and any withholding you want to track. Tie it to the ticker you hold.
Cash vs reinvested
Cash dividends increase available cash. Reinvested dividends buy more units or shares — the income still counts, but cash may not stay in the account.
Tax withheld
If your broker deducts tax at source, record it so net income and informational CGT-style totals stay closer to your statement.
Where it shows up
Portfolio totals include dividend income separately from unrealized and realized share gains. Check history and summary cards after each payout season.
Important limits
