Taiwanese High Dividend Index
The Taiwanese High Dividend Index is an index composed of the 30 highest dividend yielding stocks on the Taiwan stock market. The index was created by the Taiwan Securities Exchange in 2012 as a benchmark for investors to measure the performance and returns of high dividend yielding stocks in Taiwan.
The index is composed of the highest yielding stocks from both the FTSE Taiwan 50 Index and the Taiwan 50 Index. The FTSE Taiwan 50 Index tracks the 50 top blue-chip stocks on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taiwan 50 Index tracks the 50 most actively traded stocks on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. This combination of the top 50 stocks from both indices helps to provide a well-rounded representation of the highest dividend yielding stocks on the Taiwan exchange.
Each quarter, the index is rebalanced to ensure that only the 30 highest dividend yielding stocks are included in the index. This helps to ensure that the index accurately represents the stocks that offer the highest dividend yields.
The performance of the index is measured as the relative change in the dividend yields between each quarter. When the dividend yield of an individual component stock increases, the index value will increase as well. Conversely, when the dividend yield of an individual component stock decreases, the index value will decrease as well.
Investors can use the index to gain exposure to the highest dividend yielding stocks on the Taiwan stock exchange. The index also serves as a useful benchmark for investors when comparing the performance of their own investments in high dividend yielding stocks on the Taiwan exchange.
The index has became increasingly popular with investors in recent years, and many funds have been created to track its performance. This has helped to drive the performance of the index even higher.
The index can be an attractive investment option for those looking for high dividend yields. However, it is important to remember that these yields are subject to change and that they can vary greatly from one quarter to the next. As a result, investors should do their own research and consult with a financial advisor before investing in any of the stocks that compose the index.
