<li>We can consider three types of dividend stocks, targeting the March 31 dividend base date: 1. 1Q fiscal year-ending dividends, 2. Interim (quarterly) dividends, 3. REITs regular dividends</li>
<li>The ex-dividend price corrections of fiscal year-ending dividend stocks have been pretty tight recently. In addition, the futures basis has not reached a desirable level either.</li>
<li>So, either outright dividend trading or dividend arb play does not have much trade opening. So, I'd consider setting up a long/short basket trading, by focusing on high DTV ones.</li>

<ul>
<li>There are 71 interim dividend stocks on KOSPI and KOSDAQ. Of these, 9 stocks pay quarterly dividends: 7 KOSPI and 2 KOSDAQ.</li>
<li>All except POSCO and Shinhan Financial employ an equal quarterly split. As expected, SKT offers the highest quarterly dividend yield. At the last closing price, it is 1.55%.</li>
<li>Since the absolute yield level is tight, it may not be appropriate to consider a dividend arb play, except for SKT. Nevertheless, it may act as short-term price momentum.</li>
