According to Morningstar, as of Sept. 30, 2022, there were 411 dividend-focused exchange-traded products (ETPs) worldwide, with over AUD 522 billion in AUM. Dividend ETPs had inflows of over AUD 97 billion in the first three quarters of 2022. With over AUD 3.5 billion in AUM—or 40% of the Australian factor ETP market—the dividend factor is one of the most popular in Australia. In this paper, we will examine the Australian dividend market in depth and analyze the historical performance of the Australian high dividend yield strategy. Australia Dividend Market As one of the highest-yielding equity markets in the world, Australia has attracted extensive attention from market participants. As of Dec. 31, 2022, the trailing 12-month dividend yield of the S&P/ASX 300 was 4.5%, the highest among major developed markets (see Exhibit 1). ETF assets tracking dividend strategies in Australia have grown from AUD 571 million in 2012 to AUD 3,887 million as of Dec. 31, 2021, with an CAGR of 21% (see Exhibit 2). In 2022, the dividend AUM fell about 8% to AUD 3,585 million. SIGN UP TO RECEIVE UPDATES VIA EMAIL Sign Up Through the analysis of historical data, we have observed three major characteristics in the Australian dividend market: 1. A resilient dividend pool with a stable growth rate; 2. The financials and the materials sectors contributed the majority of dividends; and 3. A high level of dividend yield and payout ratio. pdf-icon PD F Download Full Article -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * * Indices in This Article S&P/ASX 300 * Research - Feb 02, 2023 THE CASE FOR INDEXING THEMATICS WITH THE S&P KENSHO NEW ECONOMIES Tim Edwards Managing Director and Global Head of Index Investment Strategy Anu R.

As indexing has grown, many passive investors have benefited substantially by saving on fees and avoiding active underperformance. Underperformance in the world’s largest equity market can be partly explained by factors such as positive skewness of equity markets, the professionalization of investment management and cost. SIGN UP TO RECEIVE UPDATES VIA EMAIL Sign Up However, the dynamics driving the relative performance of active funds in more narrow or specific markets, including so-called “thematic” funds, are less well understood. In this paper, we show that similar principles apply to the thematics space as well, along with some unique challenges, using the universe of the S&P Kensho New Economies Composite Index to frame our analysis. Underscoring the challenges of active thematic stock selection in this universe, and as Exhibit 1 illustrates, 63% of included constituents underperformed this index over the past four years. pdf-icon PD F Download Full Article -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * * Indices in This Article S&P Kensho New Economies Composite Index * Research - Jan 17, 2023 WHY DOES THE S&P 500® MATTER TO THE U.K.?

A potential under-allocation to U.S. equities, in particular, means that U.K. investors may be foregoing a potentially useful diversification opportunity. This paper examines the S&P 500 from the perspective of a U.K.-based investor. We examine: -The concentration and sectoral makeup of the U.K. equity market, as well as the motivations of U.K.-based market participants to diversify internationally; -The role of the U.K. and the U.S. in the global economy and global equity markets; -Potentially complementary aspects of an S&P 500-linked investment for a broad-based U.K. equity portfolio denominated in British pound sterling (sterling); and -The differences between the S&P 500 and other indices or active portfolios tracking U.S. equities. Although this paper provides a perspective on the S&P 500 through a specific filter of an investor with an expected existing bias toward U.K. equities, many of our observations hold more generally for international investors considering U.S. equities. SIGN UP TO RECEIVE UPDATES VIA EMAIL Sign Up Introduction Most market participants have encountered the S&P 500; it is a widely referenced gauge of U.S. equity performance and a popular benchmark for investments. The S&P 500 contains many of the world’s largest and most recognizable companies, with a global reach of operations, customers and revenue sources. Further, as a consequence of an increasing popularity and scale of S&P 500-related products, including index funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and listed derivatives such as futures and options, the typical cost and barriers to entry for S&P 500-linked investments have fallen over time. For a market participant predominantly investing in U.K. equities, U.S. stocks arise in several investment contexts. Most importantly, U.S. equities represent a significant proportion of the global opportunity set for diversification, with the S&P 500 making up 50% of the S&P Global BMI float-adjusted market capitalization. However, Exhibit 1 illustrates that investors in U.K. equity funds have not yet taken full advantage of their diversification potential. Specifically, Exhibit 1 shows the estimated aggregate allocations within U.K.-based equity funds to U.S. large,- mid- and small-cap equities, as compared to the relative share of each segment in the S&P Global BMI. As of September 2022, U.K. funds had a cumulative “underweight” of 22%. pdf-icon PD F Download Full Article -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * * Indices in This Article S&P 500®S&P United Kingdom * Research - Jan 11, 2023 COMPARING S&P STYLE & PURE STYLE INDICES Cristopher Anguiano Senior Analyst, U.S. Equity Indices Phillip Brzenk Managing Director, Global Head of Multi-Asset Indices Hamish Preston Director, U.S. Equity Indices * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * * Indices in This Article S&P 500 GrowthS&P 500 ValueS&P 500 Pure GrowthS&P 500 Pure Value Executive Summary S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) offers style and pure style indices, which categorize companies across the market cap spectrum based on their growth and value characteristics. Both sets of indices provide perspectives on the performance of value-oriented companies versus their growth-oriented counterparts, as well as forming the basis for index-linked products and benchmarks, globally. However, the S&P Style and S&P Pure Style Indices are constructed differently, and this has important effects on their characteristics and potential applications. Updating earlier analysis, this paper: -Explains the construction of the S&P Style and S&P Pure Style Indices; -Compares the characteristics of both index series, including risk/return profiles, exposures to style factors and the impact of different weighting schemes; and -Highlights the potential application of both sets of indices, including the historical benefits of taking an indexed-based approach. Exhibit 1 shows that, on average, the pure style indices outperformed their style index counterparts in months when their respective style was in favor. SIGN UP TO RECEIVE UPDATES VIA EMAIL Sign Up Introduction Launched in 1992, the S&P U.S. Style Indices are designed to provide broad exposure to style segments across the market cap spectrum. The indices use relevant fundamental ratios to divide the investment universe into growth and value categories. Each style category accounts for around 50% of the underlying index weight at the time of the annual reconstitution, and companies that exhibit both growth and value characteristics have their market capitalization distributed between growth and value. Exhibit 2 shows that roughly one-third of each size segment possessed both growth and value characteristics. For example, year-end data since 2009 shows that an average of 165 securities in the S&P 500®, 131 securities in the S&P MidCap 400® and 188 securities in the S&P SmallCap 600® fell into both the growth and value indices. The S&P U.S. Style Indices' exhaustive coverage may be relevant for investors seeking broad style exposure, and the indices can help to define the broad opportunity set for active managers looking to express style views. However, the overlapping nature of the indices may not appeal to market participants that desire more precise and focused measurement tools. Launched in 2005, the S&P Pure Style indices offer narrower exposures to style segments and they are more discerning when selecting growth- and value-oriented companies. Indeed, the pure style indices only include the most growth- and value-oriented companies, and there are no overlapping securities between the pure growth and pure value baskets (see Exhibit 3). Exhibit 4 summarizes the rules governing the style and pure style index series. Both sets of indices use the same style descriptors—three for growth and three for value—to measure style characteristics. The choice of these descriptors was based on time series, cross-sectional and data coverage analyses on a range of style descriptors found in peer-reviewed academic literature. Exhibit 4 also highlights the methodological differences between the two index series, including stock selection rules and weighting schemes. As we shall see in forthcoming sections, these differences led style and pure style indices to have distinct characteristics. pdf-icon PD F Download Full Article -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * * Indices in This Article S&P 500 GrowthS&P 500 ValueS&P 500 Pure GrowthS&P 500 Pure Value * Research - Nov 22, 2022 SHOOTING THE MESSENGER Anu R. Ganti Senior Director, Index Investment Strategy Craig Lazzara Managing Director, Index Investment Strategy * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * Executive Summary Index funds, which hardly existed 50 years ago, now play a prominent role in global financial markets. Exhibit 1 illustrates the growth of assets tracking the S&P 500®, the most prominent index in the world’s largest equity market, but this trend has not been limited to the U.S. (nor to equities). The growth of indexing has been driven by the inability of active managers, in aggregate, to outperform passive benchmarks. This is not a new development—it was first reported 90 years ago. The rise of passive management is the consequence of active performance shortfalls. These shortfalls can be attributed to three factors: * The professionalization of investment management; * Cost; and * The skewness of stock returns. Since each of these factors is likely to persist, the advantage of indexing over active management is likely to persist as well. SIGN UP TO RECEIVE UPDATES VIA EMAIL Sign Up Some Important Observations Until the early 1970s, there were no index funds; all assets were managed actively. The subsequent shift of assets from active to passive management, as illustrated in Exhibit 1, surely must count as one of the most important developments in modern financial history. Our intent in this paper is to suggest why this transformation came about; the answer, in our view, lies both in a set of observations and in the subsequent explanation of those observations. The observations to which we refer are designed to document the degree to which active managers are able to add value to the performance of passive benchmarks. The earliest study of active management of which we’re aware dates to 1932. Alfred Cowles examined the stock selection records of both financial services and fire insurance companies (what we would today call property and casualty insurers). Both sets of forecasters underperformed the average common stock during the period Cowles examined. The same was true of a number of financial publications that made predictions of the overall level of the stock market. For all these cases, “statistical tests…failed to demonstrate that they exhibited skill, and indicated that they more probably were [the] results of chance.” pdf-icon PD F Download Full Article * Bookmark Bookmark * * * * * * -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * About S&P Dow Jones Indices * Our Services * Media Center * Contact Us * Careers * Corporate Responsibility * History * Investor Relations * Leadership * * * * * * * © 2023 S&P Dow Jones Indices * Legal Disclaimers * Terms of Use * Privacy Policy * Cookie Notice * Do Not Sell My Personal Information * Complaints * Cookie Settings Processing ...
