"The key date to remember for dividend-paying stocks, funds, or securities is the ex-dividend date. The Record Date, or Date of Record, determines the ex-dividend date, before which you must own the stock. For you to receive the upcoming dividend you must purchase the stock prior to the ex-dividend date."
