Verständnis von Record Dates für Anleger
Für indische Anleger ist es entscheidend, zwischen dem Ex-Datum (Ex-Date) und dem Stichtag (Record Date) zu unterscheiden. Um Anspruch auf die genannten Dividenden, Bonusaktien oder Rückkäufe zu haben, muss ein Anleger die Aktien am festgelegten Record Date des Unternehmens in seinem Demat-Konto halten. Da der Abwicklungsprozess in Indien einem T+1-Zyklus folgt, müssen Anleger die Aktie in der Regel mindestens einen Geschäftstag vor dem Ex-Dividenden-Datum kaufen, um sicherzustellen, dass sie zum Record Date in den Büchern des Unternehmens geführt werden.
