Upcoming dividends

Many ASX listed companies on which ASX Equity CFDs are based pay dividends twice each year, usually as an 'interim' dividend and a 'final' dividend. Companies are not limited to paying twice a year and may pay more or less frequently. A company may also pay a 'special' dividend, related to a particular event. ASX Listed CFDs replicate the dividends or earning rate paid by the underlying instrument, referred to as the dividend cashflow.

Detailed dividend data is usually available on www.asx.com.au the day after the company has announced the dividend. It may take longer for the data to be available however it will generally be available before the 'ex dividend' date.  Only cash dividends are displayed.

ASX Listed CFDs are quoted 'ex dividend' on the same data as the underlying stock goes ex dividend.  The share price (and therefore ASX Listed CFD) may fall on the ex dividend date, with the fall in price being related to the amount of dividend being paid.
