Question 1

When is the next SLF ex-dividend date?

Accepted Answer

The next SLF ex-dividend date on record is May 27, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own SLF shares before this date.

Question 2

What is an ex-dividend date?

Accepted Answer

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy SLF on or after the ex-dividend date, the seller — not you — receives the upcoming payment. Buy before it and you're entitled to the dividend.

Question 3

Do I have to own SLF on the ex-dividend date to get the dividend?

Accepted Answer

You must own SLF before the ex-dividend date — i.e. buy at least one trading day earlier. Since the move to T+1 settlement, the record date and ex-dividend date now fall on the same day, so the ex-date is the deadline that matters.

Question 4

How much is the SLF dividend?

Accepted Answer

SLF's most recent dividend was $0.6950 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $2.78 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 3.81%.
