And to follow on that.
Persimmon pay a 7%+ dividend next month, and with over £1bn in the bank and new government partnerships in house building, their price is only going to go up this next year… What this article tells me is that next month there will be a 7% dip in its price to reflect the dividend they are paying?
If so, that when i should be waiting to buy my next batch of shares in them? And not now?
Hi am totally new could you please explain what the returns would be short term or long term to invest. Have u invested yet?
Has anyone received their dividends for this yet?
Got mine from ftse just waiting on this and vwrl
Ongoing charge of 0.4 percent isnt great though.
I got my dividend payment yesterday (30th)
In answer to some of your questions, you definitely do not lose shares once the ex-dividend date is reached, shares may lower in value to reflect the fact that buying them on that date doesn’t net you the dividend but you will still have exactly the same number of shares as you had before.
Further to that, the date you are looking for is not the date that dividends are paid but the ex-dividend date. Let’s say that the ex-dividend date is 31 March, that means if you buy shares on 30 March, you will still get the dividend for that quarter. If you buy them on 31 March, that is the first date you won’t get the dividend for that quarter meaning the price may be lower as a result. The dividend date which may be mid- to late-April is irrelevant to this consideration.
No, not yet. I was expecting it on the 30th 
Oh well, maybe I got the dates wrong.
Edit<
Nope, i got the date right. I just didn’t get a notification till today (4 days later)

Hi @TheMadProf welcome to the community 
Improving the dividend ‘experience’ has been mentioned by the team as something that is on their list. It’s not uncommon for it to take a few days to work through.
Why was my dividend paid out at roughly 0.54%?
Probably because it depends on when the underlaying companies in the fund pay the dividends themselves. The majority of companies in the fund look to pay higher (or a final) dividends in the late spring/summer(ish) months, which is why the June and september payments tend to be a fair bit higher. During the periods covered by the March and December dividends, most of the underlaying companies pay lower/interim dividends.

When is the pay out date
Not sure of the exact date but this is a quarterly dividend payer March; June; September; December. Ex-date usually around 15 of the month, payout usually around 27 of the month.

9.55% is the average dividend yield for the year, the dividends are quarterly. The September one was about 2.3%

Confused about this stock. Last year the dividend was over 9% annually, now its +3%. I didn’t see any announcements about this, and yet the stock price is improving (at least for me). I’m just surprised to see a stock in growth after a yield slash. Thoughts?
Not entirely sure but a couple of thoughts I have are:
- Their quarterly dividends are not evenly distributed in terms of amount (unlike, say British American Tobacco), so some of it might be dependent on when they work out the yield. #
- Share price has been pretty volatile so the yield figure may not have as much to do with amount as to how much the share was when it was worked out (lower share price means that yield is a bigger % than when the price is higher like now).
- Yield is a backward looking metric so is meaningless when looking to potential future yields.
