If the trade was open prior to the ex-dividend date, then the client would be eligible for a dividend payment. For example, if we assume that the ex-dividend date for NAS100 Index is on the 15th May 2022. The owner of the CFD must have an open position for Index NAS100 before the 15th May 2022 and it must remain open until the 15th May 2022 in order to receive the dividend. The owner (long position) of the CFD will receive the dividend while a seller (short position) will pay the dividend.
