For instance, the Nasdaq100 index includes the 100 largest companies by market capitalization. If dividends are issued for a share included in this index, the owner of the index also becomes entitled to receive dividends. The client agrees that if there is an open position on the ex-dividend date for a CFD index containing dividend-paying shares, the dividend amount will be credited to or debited from the client’s trading account (depending on the position’s direction – buy or sell).
