The Lapis Global Emerging Market 40 Dividend Yield Index is composed of the 40 best-known emerging market companies that have paid uninterrupted and continuously increasing dividends over the last 3 years. All the companies in our equally weighted equity index have a market capitalization greater than USD 5 billion of which 50% are Chinese companies, 25% based in the rest of Asia and 25% in the rest of the world. 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 a reliable income stream from companies based in Emerging Markets. These countries cover over 85 % of the world population and tend to show higher economic growth than developed market economies.
