Dividend adjustments on Cash Indices
Cash Indices will be subject to dividend adjustments. When a constituent member of an index pays Dividends to its Shareholders, dividend adjustments will be made to accounts of clients holding a position on the index at 00:00 GMT+2 of the ex-Dividend Date. Germany 30 (GER30) will not be subject to dividend adjustments.
Buy trades will receive as follows: Dividend adjustment per Index CFD x Lots held
Sell trades will be charged as follows: Dividend adjustment per Index CFD x Lots held
Example
E.g. Total Dividends for US 500 on a day are $0.5 per 1 unit of index CFD then:
Client position: 10 units of US 500 index CFD long
Dividend adjustment: 10 x $0.5 = +$5 (+$5 on Account Balance)
Client position: 20 units of US 500 index CFD short
Dividend adjustment: 20 x (-$0.5) = -$10 (-$10 on Account Balance)
