(1)The individual components of the index are weighted by their total market capitalization. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying each company’s market price by their total outstanding shares. Companies are ranked in descending order based on their market cap in dollars.
(2)Screened based on average projected free cash flows and earnings (if available) over each of the next two fiscal years. Companies with negative average projected free cash flows or earnings are removed from the Index universe. Financial companies, other than real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), companies with a market capitalization of less than $2 billion, and companies whose average daily trading value (“ADTV”) for the prior 90 days does not exceed $5 million are excluded from the Index universe.
(3)The three-year dividend growth is a weighted average of each company’s three-year dividends per share growth rate. The growth rate is determined by measuring the change between each company’s most recent trailing twelve-month dividends per share versus their trailing twelve-month dividend per share three years ago.
(4)Remaining 100 companies are weighted by their trailing twelve-month free cash flow. The Index is limited to a maximum of twenty companies from any country or any sector. Free cash flow weighting is calculated as a company’s operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. Companies are ranked in descending order based on their free cash flow in dollars.
