IGNORE THE RECORD DATE. 1.) The record date is (usually if not always) two days after the ex-div date. 2.) The ex-div date is the important date regarding dividends. 3.) To get the div you must be holding from the close of business the day prior to ex-div day thru to opening on ex-div day. I believe ex-dividend date is always on a Wednesday.
Shareholders who properly registered their ownership on or before the record date (or âdate of recordâ) will receive the dividend. Shareholders who are not registered as of this date will not receive the dividend. Registration in most countries is essentially automatic for shares purchased before the ex-dividend date.
