Is my position eligible to receive a dividend payment?
Last updated: 12 August 2026
Please keep in mind these timings if you would like a dividend payment to apply to your position:
- For stocks and ETFs, you must hold the position at the market close on the trading day before the ex-dividend date.
- For indices, you must hold the position at/until the "cut-off" time on the ex-dividend date. The dividend payment is applied at an internally defined time and is accompanied by an adjustment in the price of the index.
Dividend payments are public information and the dates can be easily found online. You can also check all the upcoming ex-dividend dates in our Dividend Calendar here.
