How dividends reach your portfolio

2 min readPortfolio

AlphaGen asks you to confirm each dividend before adding it.

  1. To get a dividend you must hold the share on the last day to hold, two working days before the book closure starts.
  2. Once the book closure ends, AlphaGen works out what you should have received from the shares you held and asks you to confirm it on your portfolio.
  3. You can change the amount, or say you didn't get it. Nothing is added until you confirm.
  4. Tax is taken off first, so only the cash that reached you counts. Your tax rate is asked once and remembered.
