Dividends and CFDs


Since I don't own the stock, am I paid the dividend when I hold the CFD? What happens then the company gives out a dividend and I'm holding the shares?


CFDs over stocks have many of the benefits of holding the physical underlying company stocks. CFDs don't give the holder of the contract voting rights or franking credits. Most CFD providers will credit you a portion or all of the dividend, given that you are holding a long position with your CFDs when the company goes the ex-dividend. Check with your CFD provider's help desk or Product Disclosure Statement on the policies of how the dividend process works for your particular CFD provider.
