Performance and annual returns

Methodology

All stocks in the relevant base universe are screened for 12-months historical volatility and 12-months historical dividend yield. If one or both values are not available for a stock, the company is removed from the base universe. The remaining constituents - composing the selection universe - are grouped into 7 industry clusters following the ICB matching table provided above (Finance, Infrastructure, Leisure & Luxury, Pharmaceuticals, Resources, Real Estate and Telecom & Media & Tech). In each group, all constituents are ranked according to the historical dividend yield in descending order and the top x% is selected for the next step.
