RE:RE:Ex dividend date
RE:RE:Ex dividend dateHi Carena.
I expect that no one backdates dividend info because that is fraught. TMX gets it Friday and reports, brokers get it from Thomson Reuters or whoever and update on Monday. Lawsuit avoidance mode.
Players on both sides of this mess may have been harmed. I note that the TSX rules for reporting dividend declarations say this: if the issuer doesn't have the info filed by 5 BD prior, it is on the hook for dividend claims from both buyers and sellers. I have asked my broker whether there's a form to make claims and nope, as one would expect. I may run this down with TSX for entertainment.
If I were a class action lawyer I would be all over this.
