When trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on spot stock indices, dividend adjustments occur if a component of the underlying index pays a dividend to its shareholders.
- The adjustment is applied ex-dividend at 00:00 server time on the dividend date.
- Depending on your position (long or short), the adjustment can result in a credit or debit in your account.
- The adjustment is reflected in your account history under the annotation:
Div & [Stock Index Name] & [Net Lot]
- Long positions (Buy orders): Positive value
- Short positions (Sell orders): Negative value
- The total net lot determines the final adjustment amount.
Example:
- Buy 5 lots of DJ30 → Account history shows:
Div & DJ30 & 5(credited) - Sell 5 lots of DJ30 → Account history shows:
Div & DJ30 & -5(debited)
All dividend adjustments are communicated via email and published on our official website for transparency.
