The Lapis Global Innovation Leaders 50 Dividend Yield Index is composed of each of the Top 10 companies of the following Lapis Indices: Software Technology, Medical Devices, Semiconductor, Financial Technology and 5G & IOT. All companies in our equally weighted equity index have a market capitalization greater than USD 25 billion and 80 % of them have paid uninterrupted and continuously increasing dividends over the last 5 years. Hence, a maximum of 20 % 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 January, April, July, and October).

This Lapis equity index is suitable for investors who are seeking a reliable income stream with growth potential from solid multinational companies at the forefront of technology-enable innovation, in some of the most promising areas of the economy: software technology, semiconductor, financial technology, 5G & IoT and medical devices. Economic growth is driven by innovation and technological improvements. Innovation spurs significant long-term trends, leads to higher growth rates, and generates attractive returns for investors. Investors that focus on innovation, properly assessing growth drivers and execution risks, will reap the most benefits.
