Monday Is Your Last Chance To Buy Bancroft Fund Before The Dividend Payout

Monday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Bancroft Fund (AMEX:BCV).

What's Happening

The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 32 cents per share. On Tuesday, Bancroft Fund will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 32 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.

In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Tuesday. Shareholders who own BCV as of the end of Monday's session are eligible to receive the 32 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on December 28, 2022. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
