Schwab stealth dividends — can you guess the pattern?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

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.

Next SPY ex-dividend date

Friday, January 1st, 2010

The next SPY ex-dividend date is 17-Sept-2010, I am estimating the dividend will be $0.55 per share (2009’s Sept dividend was $0.51). The distribution / pay date for that dividend is 29-Oct-2010

The last SPY ex-dividend date was 18th of June 2010.  The dividend was $0.53 ( I estimated $0.51)   The next payout / distribution date will be 30-July-2010.

See the SPDR website for the official scoop.  You must buy the ETF at least the day before to be eligible for the dividend.

SPY dividend history for the last 6 years is shown here.
