<< Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm under the impression that, typically, the owner of record date and the ex-dividend date are the same. >> You are indeed wrong. The ex-dividend date is the second trading day before the record date. In order for a buyer to be the owner of record on the record date, the trade has to settle no later than the record date. That means that the trade date can be no later than the third trading day before the record date for regular three day settlements.
