This week marks a pivotal moment for both global and local markets, with the US Federal Reserve and the South African Reserve Bank set to announce their latest interest rate decisions. Investors will be watching closely, as the Fed’s move could influence global capital flows and commodity prices, while the SARB’s decision will directly impact borrowing costs, the rand, and sentiment in South Africa’s bond and equity markets.
Interest rates also play a key role in dividends, as they shape company costs and profits. Higher rates raise debt expenses and may limit payouts, while lower rates reduce costs, support stronger or growing dividends, and often spark rallies in share prices as investors seek higher-yielding assets.
Against this backdrop, Super Group SGHC Limited, owner of Betway, continues to reward investors with steady quarterly dividends, supported by robust gambling demand. Its shares have climbed more than 90% this year, underscoring strong market confidence in the sector.
Meanwhile, the EasyETFs Balanced Actively Managed ETF has announced that it will be paying its first disbursement. The fund, which invests across South African and global equities, bonds, money markets, real estate, and collective investment schemes, has delivered returns in excess of 18% since the start of the year.
*Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
This week’s dividend update further highlights companies that distribute income on a monthly basis, such as Gladstone Land Corp and Main Street Capital Corporation. Notably, Main Street Capital will be paying investors for the second time this month.
In addition, Continental will spin off and publicly list its Automotive group (AUMOVIO), with shareholders expected to receive one AUMOVIO share for every two Continental shares.
