Three S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares will be trading ex-dividend next week.
Income investors take note.
If you want to receive the payouts, you'll need to own these ASX 200 shares at least one day before they trade ex-dividend. If you buy them after this date, the seller retains the dividend.
You should also be aware that a company's share price tends to fall by a similar amount to its per share payout once the stock trades ex-dividend.
With that said…
