The Lapis ESG Global Software Technology 25 Dividend Yield Index is composed of 25 worldwide companies offering software technology solutions based on leading ESG classifications. All companies in our equally weighted equity index have a market capitalization greater than USD 5 billion and 60% of them have paid uninterrupted and continuously increasing dividends over the last 5 years. Hence, a maximum of 40 % 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 5 years. Our rule-based criteria for selecting the most promising companies are applied during the quarterly rebalancing process (end of March, June, September, and December).

This Lapis equity index is suitable for investors who are seeking an investment exposure to the fast growing global software technology industry with a below average but strong increasing income stream. This field penetrates all aspects of our life in the information age: individuals and businesses rely on operating systems and applications to carry out daily tasks. The software sector has the highest growth rate within the tech industry and is projected to strongly grow further in the next few years.
