S&P/ASX 200 Index
The Index covers the performance of the 200 largest and most actively traded Australian companies.
The Index represents approximately 78% of Australian equity market capitalisation.
The Index combines S&P/ASX 100 and 100 additional stocks to cover beyond the large and mid cap segments of the Australian market.
The S&P/ASX 200 TR Index is calculated as a total return index, i.e. dividend payments of the index constituents are included in the calculation of the index.
The main reason for highlighting this now is that from 2016, this ETF has started paying a distribution.
Dividend per unit : AUD 2.0328
Dividend Yield : 4.58%
Also attached is the fact sheet as of April end from Deutsche Bank web-site
From Morningstar :
The aim is for your investment to reflect the performance of the S&P/ASX 200 TR Index (the "Reference Index") which is designed to reflect the performance of shares of the 200 largest companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
To achieve the aim, the Sub-Fund will attempt to replicate the Reference Index by buying all (or, on an exceptional basis, a substantial number of) the constituents of the Reference Index in the same proportion as the Reference Index as determined by the Investment Manager.
In case any VB is interested in a ETF which provides exposure to Australia, instead of investing in individual Australian companies, do explore this.
This ETF can be bought with SRS funds.
