RE: Last Day to buy before goes Ex-Div18 Nov 2020 13:56
Yes can be sold anytime from 8a.m on ex div date (19/11/20 as will not settle until the Monday so would still be on register as owner of shares on the 20th when the record date is . Normally ex div date is a Thursday so shares purchased on the wed (18/11/20 ) or before take 2 days to settle so would appear on the record date as the owner of the shares . Shares purchased on ex-div date (19/11/20 ) will not qualify as they won’t settle until after the record date (20/11/20) the share price on the ex div date would normally drop by the value per share of the dividend .
That’s how I understand it anyway ?
