Cap Gains Record Date

The Cap Gains Record Date is the specific date set by a mutual fund or company to determine which investors are eligible to receive capital gains distributions. Only shareholders who are officially recorded as holding the shares on this date will qualify to receive the distribution. To be eligible, investors must purchase the shares before the ex-dividend date, which typically occurs one business day prior to the record date.
