How Are Dividends From US Stocks in My Pocket Paid Out?

Dividends from US stocks in your Pocket are paid out the same way they would be if you held that stock individually, because Pocket gives you full ownership of the underlying assets rather than a pooled or synthetic exposure. When a US stock inside your Pocket goes ex-dividend and the payment date arrives, the dividend is credited directly to your account — you don't need to sell out of the Pocket or take any manual action to receive it. This is a direct consequence of how Pocket is structured: since you genuinely own the shares behind your Pocket allocation, any income those shares generate, including dividends and other corporate-action benefits, flows to you the same way it would for a stock bought outside of a Pocket. Dividends follow that stock's normal dividend schedule, the same as holding that stock individually — check your Transaction History for the credited amount and date, and the stock's asset detail page for its dividend schedule.

• Full ownership of the assets in your Pocket means you receive dividends the same way as owning the stock directly — no separate claim is needed.
• Where it shows up: dividends are credited to your account and counted under Dividend in Realized P&L on your Portfolio's Overview tab, not in the Pocket's unrealised profit or loss (see "Does Pocket performance include dividends and corporate actions?").
• Where to check specifics: for the exact crediting date, amount, and currency of any specific payout, check your Transaction History; for a stock's dividend schedule and cadence, check its asset detail page.
• Treat Transaction History and the asset detail page as your source of truth for the timing and amount of any specific dividend payment, rather than assuming a fixed number of days applies in every case.

Q: Do I need to do anything to receive a dividend from a stock inside my Pocket?
No — because you have full ownership of the underlying shares, the dividend is credited to your account automatically once it's paid, without needing to sell, withdraw from, or take any action inside the Pocket. This works the same as holding the stock outside a Pocket. Check your in-app notifications and Transaction History to confirm when a specific dividend has been credited.

Q: Are dividends paid in USD or converted to IDR automatically?
Dividends follow the stock's normal dividend schedule and crediting process, the same as holding that stock individually — check your Transaction History for the exact currency and amount credited for any specific payout.

Q: Is a dividend from a Pocket stock taxed differently than a dividend from a stock I bought directly?
The amount credited to your account, after any tax deducted, is shown in your Transaction History for each payout.

Q: Does receiving a dividend affect my Pocket's asset weighting?
A dividend payment itself is cash credited to your account rather than a change to your share count, so it does not directly rebalance your Pocket's existing asset weighting. It is counted with your other dividends under Realized P&L on the Overview tab, rather than in the Pocket's unrealised profit or loss.
