EM Equities provide stable dividend payments

For the MSCI EM Equity index, dividend payments have steadily increased over the last ten years

– Dividends have been significantly more stable than earnings

– The dividend payout ratio has been stable over time and mostly in the 30 – 40% range

– However it is currently still ca. 10% below world average

Potential for further increase in dividend payouts, as many companies enter mature growth phase

Back-test of a High Dividend EM Equity portfolio over 10 years

Source: UBS Investment Bank Worldscope, Datastream

Note: The above chart shows returns by calendar year to 31 December 2011. All other information is as at 31 December 2011.

1 Back test rules: At each month end, the universe is restricted to stocks which are in the MSCI EM Index on that date. Each stock has a market capitalisation of at least USD 1 billion on that date. 75

stocks with the highest trailing dividend yield over the previous 12 months on that date are selected. These stocks are equally weighted within the portfolio. The portfolio is rebalanced at month end and

the total returns computed in USD.

Note: Back-test results or past performance are not guides for the future. No restriction to buy/sell stocks i.e. no constraint on having to actually receive dividends and payout the same as income. Our

portfolio will be selected from ca. 350-400 stocks under our research coverage.
