STOXX Global Maximum Dividend 40

Export PDF

Index Description

The STOXX Global Maximum Dividend 40 is designed to maximize the dividend yield of the index portfolio. The index comprises 40 stocks from the STOXX Global 1800 with the highest expected dividend yield. The dividend yield is calculated on the basis of a three-month dividend forecast and the closing price of the securities at the time of selection.

Key facts

  • Quarterly review to track as closely as possible the performance of the highest dividend-yielding companies and to take into account the fact that dividend payments take place frequently throughout the year in North America
  • Portfolio is screened for liquidity based on two criteria: index constituents must have a three-month average daily trading volume (3-month ADTV) of at least 4 million euros and stocks are selected on the basis of their liquidity-adjusted dividend yield
  • Well-diversified, due to 10% component capping
  • Weighting of single components is based on their expected liquidity-adjusted dividend yield: the higher the dividend yield of a company and the higher its liquidity, the higher its weighting in the index

Methodology

The index universe consists of all components of the STOXX Global 1800. Only 40 companies that have the highest expected dividend yield and will pay a dividend within the forthcoming adjustment period are chosen for inclusion. Liquidity (measured by Average Daily Traded Value) and market capitalization filters are applied. The expected dividend yield is determined by the announced amount, the estimated dividends and the closing price of the stock on the last trading day of January, April, July and October. The resulting composition is effective on the third Friday of March, June, September and December. The detailed methodology including the calculation formula can be found in our rulebook: www.stoxx.com/indices/rulebooks.html
