Overview
The Dow Jones Dividend Indices family measures the stock performance of the world's top dividend-paying companies in a suite of global, regional, country and thematic indices. Each index contains between 15 and 100 stocks that have been selected for fundamental strength relative to their peers, subject to various screens such as dividend quality and liquidity. The indices are weighted by dividend yield or a modified market capitalization approach.
Certain indices are also available according to a unique distributing calculation methodology, which was created to offer investors greater transparency into the price performance of a base index and the accumulated distributed dividends of its constituent companies.
