Why is the ex-dividend date important when purchasing shares? In today’s video, we look at dividend payment chronology. ✅ The company announces a dividend on the dividend declaration date. ✅ The first date when the stock trades without the right to receiving the previously declared dividend is known as the ex-dividend date (think excluding the dividend). ✅ Investors seeking to receive the dividend must purchase the share at some point before the ex-dividend date. ✅ On the ex-dividend date, the stock price will approximately drop by the amount of the dividend but the exact drop will depend on tax rates and the types of investors trading the share. ~~~~~ 🚀 Almost all of CFA Level 1 is now free on YouTube. Have you told all your colleagues about it?

Great. Just a quick suggestion, can you add the subject title on these videos to give a quick glimpse on what subject the video/topic pertains. For instance, on this one, we know its Equity Investment. Would be great if you mention that.
