Dividents
What is ex-dividend date?
When a company announces a dividend, there are specific dates that determine who is eligible to receive it. The ex-dividend date is the day the stock starts trading without the value of the upcoming dividend.
If an investor owns shares before the ex-dividend date, they are entitled to receive the dividend.
For long positions in stock CFDs, the dividend payment may be reduced based on the applicable withholding tax rate.
Important Note: During periods of high market volatility, especially around earnings announcements or corporate actions, leverage may be reduced to 1:5 to help protect you from increased exposure.
