Dividend Payment or Charge Adjustments on Shares and Spot Stock Indices (30th Apr – 6th May 2024) and Applicable Leverages (30th Apr – 6th May 2024) Announcement 

Please be advised that when trading shares and spot stock indices using contracts for difference (CFDs), when an underlying listed company or a listed company (component) of an underlying stock index pays dividend to its shareholders, the value of the corresponding position held in the client’s trading account will be affected after the market close (trading platform / server time). Determined by whether the client’s position is long or short, the trading account will incur a net of tax dividend adjustment, which may be a payment or a charge. (Please note that stock indices futures CFDs do not participate in dividend adjustment. The composition of each Standard Lot referred to here may vary significantly from one trading product to another, please refer to contract specification for details.) 

The projected impact of any dividend issued by a component on a stock index is weighted and calculated, and such figures are published and updated on our website. 

Dividend payment received when holding a long position: 

Dividend Payment = Component Dividend (weighted, per stock index contract) × Position Size in Standard Lot × Contract Size per Standard Lot Currency Multiplier 

Dividend charge deducted when holding a short position: 

Dividend Charge = Component Dividend (weighted, per stock index contract) × Position Size in Standard Lot × Contract Size per Standard Lot Currency Multiplier 

Please find stock indices dividend figures below for this week: 

(Please note that the dividend payment for Spot Stock Indices provided below is based on public information obtained 10 days in advance, the actual dividend payments may change due to the market change. If there have any changes, we will update the dividend values in the announcement section. 

For example: The dividend value for SPX500: 1 (1.5), where 1 represents the previous dividend value, and 1.5 represents the adjusted dividend value according to the market. Investors are strongly advised to understand the adjustment for the dividend value, and it is not recommended to engage in short-term investments solely for the purpose of obtaining dividends before the dividend distribution. Any dividend payment should always based on the updated figures.)
