Hi,

I am trying to build a curve for the dividend yield.
I would like to bootstrap the curve but I don't know which structure to use.
A flat curve would not work fine since I expect the dividend yield to be maximum at the payment date, and then to decrease until the next one.

Does anyone have any experience on this point?

Cheers
