Alternative ways to invest in NatWest

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including NatWest), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

NatWest is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 4.69% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 4.69% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 0.54% of net profits

NatWest has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.69% of its share value annually.

NatWest has paid out, on average, around 0.54% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.69% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 4.69% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In NatWest's case, that would currently equate to about 21.5 per share.

While NatWest's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
NatWest's shares were split on a 13:14 basis on 29 August 2022. So if you had owned 14 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 13 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your NatWest shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 7.7% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for NatWest shares which in turn could have impacted NatWest's share price.
It's as easy to sell NatWest as it is to buy! Here's how to sell NatWest shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online
2. Go to your portfolio. This should be in the main menu
3. Find your shares. You may be able to search your portfolio
4. Choose how many you'd like to sell. You'll be able to review the price and see how much you'll receive
5. Sell your NatWest shares. Your investment platform will let you know when your shares are sold
