Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own WTM before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd has historically paid annually, across 76 payments since May 1986.
- How much does WTM pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $1.00 per share, with an ex-date of March 16, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.00 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does WTM announce its dividend?
- A median of 14 days before the ex-date, across the 14 declarations we hold.
