The Lapis Global Semiconductor 25 Dividend Yield Index is composed of 25 equally weighted semiconductor producer and development companies, with a minimum of USD 2.5 billion of market capitalization and with uninterrupted and continuously increasing dividend pay-ments over the last 5 years. Our rule-based criteria for selecting the most promising companies are applied during the quarterly rebalanc-ing process (end of January, April, July and October).

This Lapis equity index is suitable for investors who are seeking a reliable income stream from companies operating in the semiconduc-tor sector. Chips such a memory are a backbone and a prerequisite for any endeavours in emerging technologies. From Artificial intelligence (AI) reliant smartphones to the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, or the automotive sector- nothing has been left untouched by the semiconductors. A global semiconductor shortage and in-creased demand for microchips make this sector one of the most promising in the world of technology with enormous development potential.
