Hi Howard - I have wondered in the past just exactly what their policy is for dividend adjustments. My impression is that they generally adjust for larger dividends, perhaps around 5% or more, but not for smaller ones. Would you happen to know exactly what their policy is? Are the adjustments generally made by QP or their supplier? Thanks very much!
