SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRADING DIVIDEND YIELDING SECURITIES

摘要

In one or more implementations, an exchange traded fund is used to receive a dividend that exceeds an underlying market index on which the exchange traded fund is based, and earning a total return that is correlated to the at least one underlying index. Security information is referenced that represents respective securities, security price(s), ex-dividend date(s), and dividend yield(s). One or more processors receive investment information that represents a first portion of a portfolio that includes one or more investments in one or more securities in relation to the at least one underlying index. The investment information and at least some of the security information is processed to determine a second portion of the portfolio that includes at least two of the respective securities to be purchased prior to the respective ex-dividend date. The processor(s) initiate an investment in each of the at least two securities.
