| The difference betwixt? A {{eqderivprov|Dividend Amount}} is a {{eqderivprov|Dividend Amount}}, end of the day. What this is all to do with is ''when'' a {{eqderivprov|Dividend Amount}} is deemed to occur, and therefore which {{eqderivprov|Dividend Period}} it falls in.
| |
| *'''''Paid'' versus ''declared''''': Firstly, there is “'''paid'''” (which features in {{eqderivprov|Paid Amount}}) versus “'''declared'''” (which features in {{eqderivprov|Ex Amount}} and {{eqderivprov|Record Amount}}). One ''pays'' a dividend days or weeks after one ''declares'' it: hence the [[arbitrage]] opportunities between those taking cash and those taking scrip. So a {{eqderivprov|Record Amount}} may fall in the {{eqderivprov|Dividend Period}} before a {{eqderivprov|Paid Amount}}. You have to choose which you want.
| |
| *'''Date ''declared'' versus date ''traded [[ex-dividend]]''''': A couple of days before a [[record date]] has been declared the {{eqderivprov|Share}} to which it relates will start trading “[[ex-dividend]]” on exchange (meaning a buyer will not get the dividend payment attaching to the share. Why a time ''before'' the record date? Because of the settlement time for an equity sale. The holder of record is the one holding the share — since it takes a couple of days to leave the seller’s account and hit yours, trading date on which that economic effect takes place has to anticipate the record date.
