Important: To qualify for a dividend, you must have an open position at least one day before the "ex-dividend" date.


In case there is an open position in Stocks, ETFs, and CFDs on Stocks, ETFs, dividends are credited or debited to an account on the "ex-dividend" date. We also introduced dividends on CFD indices, providing clients with even more opportunities to profit from the financial markets. 


View the schedule of the "ex-dividend" dates for the upcoming future in the "Corporate events" section of your trading platform. 



Long and short positions

  • A client holding a long position on the ex-dividend date will receive the applicable dividend in the form of a cash adjustment credited to the relevant trading account. Find the transaction in the History Tab on the client’s trading platform under "Cash Corrections".
  • A client holding a short position on the ex-dividend date will be charged the applicable dividend in the form of a cash adjustment debited to the relevant trading accounts. Find the transaction in the History Tab on the client’s trading platform under "Cash Corrections".

A dividend is added to an account balance and has no influence on the result of a position.
