Dividend Capture Trader (Remote, Funded) — Seattle, WA

A dividend capture trader at Maverick runs a systematic program of buying high-yield US equities before ex-dividend dates and managing the position to capture the dividend while controlling the post-dividend price adjustment. Layered options overlays (covered calls, protective puts) can improve the risk-adjusted return of the base strategy. Seattle, WA: Seattle is home to Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and a financial industry built around those anchor employers. Russell Investments is headquartered in the metro, and a meaningful asset-management presence has grown around the tech wealth concentration. Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open. Washington has no state income tax. What you\'ll trade: US dividend-paying equities meeting minimum yield, market cap, and liquidity criteria — typically large-cap dividend payers and high-quality REITs. Some variants of the strategy extend to preferred shares and dividend-focused ETFs. Risk framework: The naive version of dividend capture loses money because the stock typically drops by the dividend amount. The professional version manages position-level risk on the residual price exposure — that\'s where the actual edge lives, not in the dividend itself. Maverick traders are sized accordingly. Why Maverick funds this role: Dividend capture is a niche strategy that works when executed with discipline and proper position sizing. Maverick funds it because it diversifies the firm\'s book away from pure directional or pure vol strategies.
