French term or phrase: détachements de dividendes
I am looking for a way to say "es détachements de dividende programmés" in the context of talking about how Index Futures prices are calculated. I know that this refers to the scheduled ex-dividend dates but wonder if there is a better way to say this?

recorded dividends/dividends of record


Explanation:
Low confidence because I haven't come across this problem before.

In my experience the administrative process for declaring and paying out dividends has fewer steps in EN than FR. I've worked on many texts where the FR first declares then allocates then allots then adds up then distributes then hums and haws and then finally pays the darn dividend...whereas EN tends to just say 'this is the dividend, this is when we'll pay it'.

If the FR term you're actually facing is *dividendes détachées*, meaning the dividends have been earmarked for payment to individual shareholders of record but not yet paid, perhaps a wording with "record" is what you want. I doubt "recorded dividends" or "dividends of record" are much in use but I imagine they would be understood by readers.

Note that "recorded" refers to the dividend owed to each individual shareholder of record, while "declared" refers to the dividend payout as a whole—at least as I understand it.

les détachement(s) de dividendes programmé(s)
the scheduled ex-date(s)


Explanation:
vs. a literal translation as 'scheduled cut-offs (cut-off-dates) of dividends'.



Example sentence(s):
  • (The difference between the) dividend ex-date & record date is that the record date is announced by the management of the company along with the amount of dividend, whereas the Dividend ex-date depends on the record date and is usually two days prior.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your answer but this is not the payment date. we are talking about the date that the dividends belong to the shareholder, paid or not. So that if someone buys the shares the new owner is not entitiled to that dividend.
