Cap Gains Ex Date

The Cap Gains Ex Date (ex-dividend date) is the first day on which a stock or mutual fund trades without the right to receive the upcoming capital gains distribution. Investors who purchase shares on or after this date are not eligible for the current distribution. To receive the distribution, investors must buy the shares before the ex-date. Typically, the ex-date occurs one business day before the record date. YCharts receives Cap Gains Ex Date from our capital gains estimate data provider, CapGainsValet.
