    Its easy to find the detail when it is published.   Until it is published, you wait.   It shouldn't be long now.

    Fidelity are often useful for OEIC distributions, go down to Dividend history

    It’s impressive that it’s there already as many of my OEICs, particularly with Invesco and Liontrust, can take many weeks to show up.

    It's market sensitive information, as the price before and after dividend entitlement will be different. Doesn't that mean the dividend information should be published as soon as it's known, and even as an estimate before it's finalised?

    Listed companies usually declare the dividend (the declaration date) in advance and set the size of the dividend, record and payment dates. I've never looked into it but always assumed that OEICs work in the same manner, but perhaps not

    I tend to rely on FE Analytics, which gets its data from the fund houses. That is updated daily.  its not showing on there yet.

    Since it's an OEIC, it's not traded in markets, and so not "market-sensitive".

    I have a similar question to last year. VLS60 inc went ex-dividend on 1st April. The Fidelity site mentioned by Coldiron last year says the dividend is 0.045856 for this year. Is that correct? 4.5856 pence

    I'm rather hoping it's a typo and the dividend is £4.5856

    The Inc class decreased in value by 1.3%, while the Acc class increased in value by 0.8%. So that would give you a rough guide to the value of the dividend based on relative change in NAV (~£4.50), so yes probably a typo.
