Dividend Policy
Hargreaves Lansdown has a progressive ordinary dividend policy. The Board considers the dividend on a total basis, with the intention of maintaining the ordinary payout ratio at around 65% across the market cycle and looking to return excess cash to shareholders in the form of a special dividend. Any such return will be determined according to market conditions and after taking account of the Group’s growth, investment and regulatory capital requirements at the time.
2021
On 9 August 2021 the Group announced its final results and at the same time declared a final ordinary dividend of 26.6 pence per share and a special dividend of 12.0 pence per share. Combined with the interim ordinary dividend of 11.9 pence per share paid on 8 March 2021, this takes the total dividend to 50.5 pence per share.
Subject to shareholder approval of the final ordinary dividend at the AGM to be held on Friday 15 October 2021, the final and special dividends will be paid on 20 October 2021 to all shareholders on the register at the close of business on 24 September 2021.
