The Lapis China Brands 40 Dividend Yield Index is composed of the 40 best-known Chinese brands based on an internationally recognised ranking. 30% of the covered companies have paid uninterrupted and continuously increasing dividends over the last 3 years. In contrast, a maximum of 70% of the companies included in our unique equity index do not apply a strict dividend payment policy and have paid their regular dividends for less than 3 years. Our rule-based criteria for selecting the most promising companies are applied during the quarterly rebalancing process (end of January, April, July, and October). See the Factsheet and Brochure of the index for further information.
