FIDI

FIDI targets 100 high-yielding international stocks. The index selects high-dividend stocks by calculating a size-adjusted composite score for each security, relative to its country and sector peers. The composite score considers the following factors: dividend yield (70% weight), payout ratio (15%), and dividend growth (15%). High-scoring stocks are selected such that country and sector representation is roughly market-like, relative to the broader developed international equity market, and are weighted by market cap within each country/sector group. Sectors with higher dividend yields are over weighted, while sectors with lower yields are underweighted. The index is rebalanced annually.
