About the company

GQG describes itself as listed on the ASX and focused on active equity portfolios for institutional and other clients. Its shares trade on the ASX as CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs), so Australian holders receive dividends in Australian dollars converted from the US dollar amount.

Upcoming dividend details

The company converted the US dollar dividend at the exchange rate of 0.70015 on 14 October 2026, though the announcement notes the Australian dollar amount is subject to rounding in certain circumstances and is calculated using the rate applicable for the payment of the dividend in Australian dollars.

How the dividend is set

The announcement says the dividend represents 90% of the company’s third-quarter distributable earnings. That is the only financial detail in the release, which does not give revenue, profit or funds under management.

The company directs readers to its half year report and results centre for further information.

The announcement explains the conversion mechanics. The Board declared a dividend in US dollars of US$0.0327 per share. Based on an exchange rate of 0.70015 on 14 October 2026 it equals about A$0.0467 per share or CDI, but the final Australian dollar amount uses the rate applicable at payment and may differ slightly because of rounding. The record date is one day after the ex-dividend date, and the cash payment date is 16 December 2026.

The company describes the dividend as 90% of third-quarter distributable earnings, so the payout follows from a stated policy rather than a fixed amount. The announcement was authorised by the company secretary and refers readers to the company’s results centre for the half year report and other information, which are not part of this article.

How the dividend timetable works

The ex-dividend date of 20 October 2026 is the first trading day on which shares change hands without the right to the upcoming dividend of about A$0.0467 per share. Shares bought before that date carry the entitlement, subject to the record date and settlement timing, while shares bought on or after it do not. Payment follows on 16 December 2026, 57 days after the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date falls 1 days after 19 October.

The dividend is unfranked, so no franking credits are attached to the payment.

A dividend is a distribution of profit that the board decides to pay, and the amounts quoted are per share. The total cash paid depends on the number of shares on issue at the record date, which can change if a company issues new shares or repurchases existing ones. Dates and amounts can change if the company announces an update.

Factors shareholders may weigh

The dividend is a percentage of distributable earnings, so the amount changes with earnings from quarter to quarter, which depend on fees tied to funds under management and market conditions. The Australian dollar amount also moves with the exchange rate.

The dividend is unfranked, and payment is made about eight weeks after the record date.

What’s next

The dividend goes ex on 20 October 2026, with the record date on 21 October and payment on 16 December 2026. The company will announce its next quarterly dividend after the following quarter.
