(Vienna) The Vienna Stock Exchange started the calculation and publication of the new Top Dividend Indices for the ATX, the CECE and the CEESEG Traded Index today. All three of the indices are composed of the ten stocks with the highest dividend yields from the respective underlying index. The new indices of the Vienna Stock Exchange give investors with a focus on “comprehensive dividend strategies” new investment options precisely in times of low interest rates on bonds and volatile markets. The three indices have been designed as tradable indices that can serve as underlyings for structured products and standardized derivatives (futures and options).
The ATX Top Dividend Indices are calculated in Euro and disseminated in in real time, and the CECE and CEESEG Top Dividend indices are calculated in Euro and US-Dollar. All indices are available as price indices (only “pure" prices used in index calculation), total return indices (includes gross dividends of index members) and net total return indices (includes dividend payouts after taxes).
