Equities represent ownership rights in companies. Equity Contracts for Difference are instruments that allow investors take the advantage of speculating on price changes of certain stocks without getting directly involved in the ownership. Those who hold a position in Equity CFDs will get or will be charged dividend adjustments on defined dates, equal to the dividend announced by the board of directors. The stock price is determined not only by global or structural factors, conditions in a certain business segment, but also by firm-specific features, its abilities to generate cash flows. Equities as an asset class are believed to be more risky than fixed income securities and therefore provide higher level of return to compensate those risks. 1 Announcement date – the date when the company declares dividend amount, record date and payment date. 2 Ex-dividend date – the date is usually set two business days before the record date. The stockholder is entitled to receive the next dividend only if the stock is purchased before this date. 3 Record date – the date when the full list of company’s shareholders who will receive the next dividend payment is made. The list includes shareholders who purchased the stock before ex-dividend date. 4 Payment date – the date when the company pays dividends to shareholders according to the list from the record date. 5 Dividend amount – the dollar amount of the next cash dividend payment (or the latest cash dividend payment if no information about future payments is available).
