Launch of global indices family
MSCI Barra, a provider of benchmark indices and risk management analytics products, is to launch a global family of indices designed to reflect the performance of the high dividend yield opportunity set.
The MSCI High Dividend Yield Indices aim to objectively reflect this within select MSCI Equity Indices.
The indices include high dividend yielding securities that have demonstrated a sustainable and persistent dividend.
They will serve as performance benchmarks and may be used as the basis for passive investment vehicles.
The indices can be utilised in both institutional and retail portfolios and will be available in October.
