Corporate Action Adjustments

Positions in an ASX Equity CFD can be subject to corporate action adjustments any adjustment to positions will reflect the same economic effect as the underlying security on which the ASX Listed CFD is based. This means that whenever there is a corporate action - such as a share split, capital repayment, special dividend, bonus issue, takeover etc - the same impact will be reflected back into the ASX Listed CFD position - either as a position adjustment or a cash adjustment.

The ASX Corporate Action Information Paper (PDF 300KB) sets out the process framework and associated policies for the treatment of corporate action processes in relation to Equity CFDs.
