can someone shed clarity please.15 Jul 2021 09:20
On HL this morning I have (XD) next to I3E, (message below), does this mean today is the last day to top up or all shares I've bought this year will be counted? I know the 15th was the X-Date but is that before trading starts or once it closes? I'm thinking if it's last day then there could be a flurry of buys. Many thanks
