Dividend Settlement

Shares and Cash Indices (CFDs) reflect corporate events so you will be entitled to a dividend payment, if you have an open long position on the shares in question, and if you open a short position, a value equal to the dividend will be written off.

In the case of CFD trades with individual shares, dividend settlement will be used as follows:

• Clients holding long positions of individual shares (CFDs) and cash indices will be credited with dividends based on ex-dividend settlement.

• Clients holding short positions of individual shares (CFDs) and cash indices will be deducted from dividends based on ex-dividend settlement.
