You don't need to wait that long. To avoid the dividend, you need to sell SGOV before market close on April 30 and can buy it back any time on May 1 or later.I am investigating implementing this procedure. The next ex-dividend date for SGOV is 1 May 2024 (Wednesday). If I sell before market close on the prior date (Tuesday) and then re-buy the day following the ex-dividend date (Thursday) is the timing correct ?
Thank You !
