S&P Dow Jones Indices has launched the S&P Global 1200 Dividend Stability Low Volatility Index designed to measure the performance of stocks that achieve a balance between dividend yield, dividend growth and volatility.

 

The Index joins its 100 factor-based indices and is the sixth factor-based dividend index launched by S&P Dow Jones Indices in 2015 so far.

 

The S&P Global 1200 Dividend Stability Low Volatility Index selects 100 stocks from the S&P Global 1200 which measures the performance of 30 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The least volatile stocks that pass the Index's dividend growth, dividend payout ratio and dividend yield screens are selected. The selected constituents are then weighted by estimated projected dividend yield.

 

Vinit Srivastava, senior director, strategy indices, S&P Dow Jones Indices commented, "The S&P Global 1200 Dividend Stability Low Volatility Index follows a string of similar smart beta indices that we have recently launched, including the S&P 500 Low Volatility Enhanced Index and the S&P Europe 350 Buyback Dividend Stability Low Volatility Index. These indices address client demand for indices that aim to provide exposure to both dividend yield and low volatility. S&P Dow Jones Indices is a leader in the smart beta space with more than US$80 billion in assets tracking both single and multi-factor strategies."
