Some dividend QAs

 Nicholas: Hello, thank you for contacting Questrade. How can I help you?


Lei Wu: hi,

Lei Wu: I have a question about the pwt.un.to

Lei Wu: There will be CDN$0.15 per trust unit payable on May 14, 2010 to unitholders of record on April 30, 2010

Lei Wu: My question is: if I buy the stock today, till April 30 will the unit be under my name?

Nicholas: let me confirm this

Lei Wu: And if I will be entitled to have that dividend then

Nicholas: if you buy the stock before April 28th and hold it then you will receive the dividend

Lei Wu: ok, so it take 2 days to transfer the ownership of the unit?

Lei Wu: thanks.

Lei Wu: what if I sold it on 28 April, do I still qualified the get the dividend

Nicholas: it takes 3 busines days

Nicholas: therefore if you buy the stock before April 28 then the trade will settle in time

Lei Wu: So this mean if I sold it on 28, I will still be allowed to have the dividend, because it take 3 days to transfer the ownership of the unit. :)

Nicholas: Yes, that is correct, you will still receive the dividend

Lei Wu: Thank you for the help, you have a great day. Bye now.

Nicholas: Take care
