How are dividends and other corporate actions managed?
Currently, you cannot manage dividend and corporate actions via our trading platform. However, you will receive notifications from us by ordinary mail for mandatory corporate actions. For voluntary corporate actions such as rights issues, takeovers, and dividends with scrip option, you will receive response slips which should be completed and returned before the due date should you wish to participate.
