Hi everone,

This is my first post on the forum - if this question is silly/already been asked... please be kind!

Is there a minimum no. of days you are required to hold//own shares?

If I wanted to sell shares say 5 days after T+3 purchase, is this possible?

Thanks!

You can sell your shares seconds after you have purchased them.

No minimum. You can sell them as soon as you buy them.

Wow, quick replies! Thanks TH and Captain Black!! Okay, lets consider this thread closed!!!//
 
If you claim more than $5,000 of franking credits in one financial year then the 45 day rule applies. You must hold the shares "at risk" (that's the ATO's term) for a minimum of 45 days to claim a franking credit. Note that the 45 days does not have to come after the ex-dividend date or the dividend payment date. You can own the shares for 45 days prior to the ex-dividend date and sell them on that date and still claim the franking credit.
