Accuracy of dividend adjustments

Recommended Posts

Hi

For an index (say FTSE 100), how do you know the adjustment made by a provide like IG  is correct? Is there transparency around this?

Also, if you are long, I believe IG returns 90% of the dividend? Since 16/17 tax year, the 10% notional pension credit was removed so why not payout 100%? Seems like they are profiting from this?

Thanks.

Thanks for your post. 

The dividend adjustment is made on the ex dividend date of stocks that make up the FTSE100 that are giving out a dividend. 

If you're long the price will move down and you're credited the adjusted amount. If you look at the closing price of the previous candle stick and the open of the new one you will be able to see that the price adjustment and loss are the same. 

We have client trading both long and short, we make this adjustment at the same time, no one wins or loses they're purely adjustments. 

If you want to find out why the adjustments are the figures we adjust them by you can email us and ask for a breakdown on which stocks are giving out dividends or you can search for this yourself. 

All the best

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
