Index Description

The STOXX Select Dividend Indices are designed to measure the performance of the highest dividend-paying stocks relative to their home markets. Stocks are screened by defined historical non-negative dividend-per-share growth rates and dividend to earnings-per-share (EPS) ratios. The index family covers the North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, Eurozone, EU Enlarged and Globalregions. The Global index is a roll-up of the European, North America and Asia/Pacific indices. The indices are derived from their respective benchmark index, such as the STOXX North America 600, STOXX Asia/Pacific 600, STOXX Europe 600, EURO STOXX and STOXX EU Enlarged TMI.

Key facts

  • Components are weighted by their indicated annual net dividend yield, i.e. the largest dividend-yielding companies have the highest weight in the index
  • Fixed component numbers and cap factors guarantee index diversification
  • Liquidity screening ensures the index is suitable as an underlying for financial products

Methodology

The index universe is the relevant benchmark index. Only dividend-paying companies are eligible and those stocks must have a non-negative historical five-year dividend-per-share (DPS) growth rate and a defined dividend to EPS ratio. For the selection, components are sorted by an outperformance factor to their home market and ranked accordingly. A minimum liquidity level and a buffer rule are applied. Detailed index methodology, including information on the outperformance factor and the dividend to EPS ratio can be found in our rulebook : http://www.stoxx.com/indices/rulebooks.html
