I could not find the new rule that you have mentioned. Could you please share a source for that so I can relay that to our internal team?

This is the third report I was able to find that describes this issue.


A change was apparently made to the Portfolio Dividend view a couple weeks ago that resulted in all the ex-dividend dates being one day too early. The reason behind the error isn't important, but correcting the error needs to be made a priority. Note that the dates are correct on the individual security's dividend history. The OP is absolutely correct that this is a very important error to correct as it impacts any income investor that relies on dividends.
