  • Ex-dividend date for a standard cash dividendSet on the business day immediately preceding the record date
  • Broker-dealer executing a customer trade as an agentMust disclose commission charged on the trade confirmation
  • Ex-dividend date for a stock dividend of 25% or greaterSet on the business day immediately following the payable date

Cevap

Regular-way settlement for US corporate stock trades matches with 'Settles T+1 (one business day after the trade date)'. Ex-dividend date for a standard cash dividend matches with 'Set on the business day immediately preceding the record date'. Broker-dealer executing a customer trade as an agent matches with 'Must disclose commission charged on the trade confirmation'. Ex-dividend date for a stock dividend of 25% or greater matches with 'Set on the business day immediately following the payable date'.
Each item correctly reflects FINRA and SEC rules: Regular-way equity settlement is T+1; standard cash dividend ex-dates precede record dates by one business day; agency executions require commission disclosure; and large stock dividends (25% or more) have their ex-date set on the business day following the payable date.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify regular-way settlement rules for equities.
Regular-way settlement for US equities, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds occurs on T+1T+1.
Current SEC rules mandate a 1-business-day settlement timeframe.
2
Determine ex-dividend date rules for standard cash dividends under T+1.
Because settlement is T+1T+1, an investor must purchase the stock the business day prior to the record date to be settled by the record date, making the ex-dividend date one business day before the record date.
The ex-date is the first day the stock trades without the right to receive the dividend.
3
Analyze capacity disclosure rules on trade confirmations.
Agency capacity requires disclosing commission; principal capacity requires disclosing markup or markdown.
FINRA Rule 2232 requires clear capacity and compensation disclosures on written trade confirmations.
4
Determine ex-dividend date exception for large stock dividends/splits.
For stock dividends or splits of 25% or greater, the ex-dividend date is the first business day after the payable date.
Due to due-bill tracking requirements, trades up to the payable date carry the dividend/split value.
