Schwab stealth dividends — can you guess the pattern?

 
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 | Vance Harwood
 

Update

Schwab posted their 2010 ex-dividend / distribution dates for their no-fee ETFs here.

Original post…

Schwab’s new no-commission ETFs went ex-dividend last Monday, March 22nd.   The distribution date is 26-March–only four days later!   I had guessed Schwab would align with the quarterly iShares funds ex-dividends, but apparently they have decided to go it alone with apparently semi-random, unannounced ex-dividend dates.  The dividends to be paid were posted recently.  The distributions:

SCHA   $0.07

SCHB   $0.11

SCHG  $0.05

SCHV  $0.14

SCHX   $0.10  (I had guessed $0.12)

The two ex-dividend dates we have since the funds started, 23-Dec-09, a Thursday, and 22-Mar-10, a Monday, don’t suggest a pattern I can see.   Ex-dividend dates tend to follow a week / day of week pattern (e.g., Thursday on the 3rd week of the month), or a day of the month (e.g., 1st of the month unless it is not a business day).   The December date was the 17th business day, and the March date was the 16th, so not a usable pattern there either.  Guess we will have to wait another quarter to get another data point.   In the meantime I’m going to guess and predict the next Schwab fund ex-dividend date will be on 21-June-2010.

For the next SPY ex-dividend date and estimated dividend go here.

SPDR’s 19-Mar-2010 dividend update reports SPY’s March 2010 dividend as $0.48  (I had estimated $0.52).  The pay date will be 30-April-2010.   The ex-dividend date is today, 19-March-2010.

Next SPY ex-dividend date

 
Monday, March 26th, 2012 | Vance Harwood
 

SPY went ex-dividend Friday March 16th, 2012.  The dividend was $0.6139 per share with a distribution date of April 30th.  Yes, SPDR takes their time distributing the $480 million in dividend money for this quarter.  The table below summarizes first quarter dividend information for SPY, IVV, and VOO—the three biggest S&P 500 index ETFs.

SYMBOL Next Ex-dividend Next Pay date Previous Dividend Dividend
SPY 15-Jun-2012 30-Apr-2012 $0.7701  $0.6139
IVV 26-Mar-2012 30-Mar-2012 $0.7701  $0.6323
VOO 26-Mar-2012 30-Mar-2012 $0.3430  $0.2850

 

You only have to buy a stock or ETF the day prior to its ex-dividend date to be eligible for the dividend.  You can sell on the ex-dividend date if you want and still collect the dividend when the distribution / pay date arrives.    Be aware that  in a flat market the stock or ETF at opening on its ex-dividend date will typically drop in value by the dividend amount.  See Top 10 questions if you have more questions on dividends.

For more information about ex-dividend and distribution dates for SPDR, iShares, Schwab, and Vanguard ETFs see this post.
