The distribution of a dividend is often a decision criterion for shareholders when selecting shares. If a company pays out part of its profits as a dividend, this is usually done once a year in Germany and quarterly in the USA. In order to be a shareholder entitled to dividend<\/strong> certain cut-off dates must be observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does dividend entitlement mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Dividend entitlement<\/strong> is the right of a shareholder to receive a dividend when the company pays out a dividend. As an investor, it is important to note that there are different dividends depending on the country. Deadlines<\/strong> The dividend is calculated on the basis of the date on which the share must be held in the securities account in order to be entitled to a dividend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dividend record date in Germany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Germany Dividends<\/a> no later than the third business day after the Annual General Meeting<\/a> paid out. The dividend resolution is passed at the Annual General Meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Day of the general meeting<\/strong> is considered at the same time Dividend record date<\/strong>The latest date on which the share must be purchased in order to be entitled to a dividend. On the day after the Annual General Meeting, the dividend is deducted on the ex-dividend day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dividend record date for foreign shares (USA)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even in the case of foreign shares, a share must before ex day<\/a> in the portfolio so that a shareholder can benefit from a dividend payout. Since, for example, in the USA<\/strong> dividends are usually distributed on a quarterly basis, however, it does not make sense to use the date of the Annual General Meeting as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, the task here is to identify the so-called \"<\/strong>Record Date<\/a>\"<\/strong> to note. In the USA, a person is entitled to a dividend if he or she owns the shares of the relevant company two days before the record date or one day before the ex date. The ex-dividend date is one day before the record date. (Since companies sometimes only publish the record date, it is necessary to be able to calculate the ex-date yourself).<\/p>","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-45266","glossar","type-glossar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"blog_summary":"","blog_faq_schalter":"nein","faq_uberschrift":"","blog_faq_loop":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossar\/45266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossar"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.captrader.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
