It's almost dividend time for the four ASX All Ordinaries (ASX: XAO), or ASX All Ords, shares I will cover in this article.
The ex-dividend date is essential for investors focused on passive income. Its date is when investors will no longer be entitled to the dividend of an ASX share. For example, if the ex-dividend date is 30 June 2023, then 29 June 2023 is the last date people can gain entitlement to the upcoming dividend.
Investors that already own shares don't need to do anything. They receive entitlement to the dividend simply by holding the shares.
From here, the dividend payment comes next, though there's no set timeframe for when the cash will be sent to investors.
So, let's look at which businesses plan to pay dividends soon.
Which ASX All Ord shares make the list?
Garda Diversified Property Fund (ASX: GDF)
Garda is a real estate investor, developer and manager of investments along the eastern seaboard of Australia from Cairns to Melbourne.
Importantly for those seeking a regular income, Garda pays a quarterly distribution to its investors. The next scheduled distribution payment will be 1.8 cents per security, with an ex-distribution date of 29 June 2023. This means investors have until 28 June 2023 to be a holder of the units.
The payment date is 17 July 2023.
Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)
This is a real estate investment trust (REIT), as the name suggests, which owns healthcare and 'wellness' properties that are exposed to the healthcare tailwinds.
The distribution to be paid from the ASX All Ords share is a 2 cents per security payment, with an ex-distribution date of 29 June 2023. That means that investors have to own units by 28 June 2023.
The payment date for the distribution is 30 August 2023.
Hotel Property Investments Ltd (ASX: HPI)
