IS.Teledata Presents New Product Module Dividends Calendar

Integrating dividend payments with investment strategies

FRANKFURT - The new product module Dividends Calendar of IS.Teledata AG is now available. It enables investors to monitor stock companies who have announced a date for their annual general meeting and a prospective dividend. The Dividends Calendar is especially interesting for online brokers and media portals. They can thus address two target groups of investors on their web sites: Short-term investors frequently buy stocks before the AGM to benefit from the dividend and to sell soon after the AGM. Mid-term, more conservative investors look to dividends while bond interest rates are low. In sideways moving markets, dividend payments have become an important yield factor for many investors. The Dividends Calendar is currently available for all companies listed in Germany and will continuously be expanded by data from other European markets.

The Dividends Calendar indicates the company name, the AGM date, the announced dividend, the current stock price, the dividend yield as well as the sector and the indices which lists the stock. Optional enhancements include a calculator module which determines the dividend’s net yield after taxes and transaction fees. The Dividends Calendar is part of the product family IS.Reports Equities of IS.Teledata.
