Dividends on CFD shares

“Dividend adjustment” is always taken into consideration when managing trading operations with contracts on difference CFD.

When Buy position at the Ex-dividend date is opened the sum of the adjustment is charged to the trading account; when Sell position is opened it is discharged.

There is a dividend table* below, which includes information about next date of dividend charge for every trading instrument of the NYSE group. Dividend indicated in the corresponding column is charged on every position for #CFD instrument which is not closed before the Pay date. All dividends are shown in US dollars per share.

Example: if buy position in the amount of 2 lots occurs on the trading account at the dividend’s pay date in the amount A on share #B, a sum of the dividend charged for a deal with shares #B will constitute (2 lots x 100 shares x A) USD. In case there are several positions on shares #B the sum of all positions is taken for index A.

If there is a negative transactions’ balance (an amount of transactions per share has Sell- tendency) the dividend has negative index.
