The events calendar: how not to miss a date

Some corporate events require action within a limited window, and missing it is irreversible — Corporate events: what a holder has to track.

What lands in the calendar

Dividend record dates — The dividend calendar: which dates matter and why.

Bond put dates, where presentation is only possible within the allotted period — The put date: miss it and you are left holding a different bond.

Results publications and shareholder meeting dates.

How to use it

Look at events for your own positions rather than for the whole market: a calendar filtered by your watchlist shows what actually concerns you — How to build a watchlist and set up alerts.

What to check ahead of time

Put dates — several weeks out: presentation requires submitting an instruction and sometimes carries a fee.

Record dates — a week out: what matters is not the record date itself but the last day to buy.

What the calendar does not replace

Reading the primary source. A date in a calendar is a pointer; the terms of the event are described in the issuer's disclosure.
