Risk Management in Dividend Indices

15

• Trailing (or estimated) dividends can be misleading if a company’s prospects have worsened materially in the quite recent past.

• For an investor, companies that pay high dividends are only attractive if the dividend-payer can afford them.

• Dividend-related equity indices can apply risk management filters and only select stocks that satisfy certain additional criteria.

• The particular filters chosen can vary across indices (and geographies) but each aims to mitigate the potential pitfalls of dividend investing.

Performance Disclosure

The launch date of the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond Index was March 24, 2010. The launch date of the S&P/ASX Franked Dividend Index was February 29, 2016. The launch date of the S&P/ASX 200 was April 3, 2000. The launch date of the S&P/ASX 300 Shareholder Yield Index was December 19, 2014. The launch date of the S&P Global Dividend Aristocrats AUD was July 15, 2013. The launch date of the S&P/ASX Dividend Opportunities Index was September 21, 2010.

All information presented prior to an index’s Launch Date is hypothetical (back-tested), not actual performance. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect on the index Launch Date. Complete index methodology details are available at www.spdji.com.

S&P Dow Jones Indices defines various dates to assist our clients in providing transparency. The First Value Date is the first day for which there is a calculated value (either live or back-tested) for a given index. The Base Date is the date at which the Index is set at a fixed value for calculation purposes. The Launch Date designates the date upon which the values of an index are first considered live: index values provided for any date or time period prior to the index’s Launch Date are considered back-tested. S&P Dow Jones Indices defines the Launch Date as the date by which the values of an index are known to have been released to the public, for example via the company’s public website or its datafeed to external parties. For Dow Jones-branded indices introduced prior to May 31, 2013, the Launch Date (which prior to May 31, 2013, was termed “Date of introduction”) is set at a date upon which no further changes were permitted to be made to the index methodology, but that may have been prior to the Index’s public release date.

Past performance of the Index is not an indication of future results. Prospective application of the methodology used to construct the Index may not result in performance commensurate with the back-test returns shown. The back-test period does not necessarily correspond to the entire available history of the Index. Please refer to the methodology paper for the Index, available at www.spdji.com for more details about the index, including the manner in which it is rebalanced, the timing of such rebalancing, criteria for additions and deletions, as well as all index calculations.

Another limitation of using back-tested information is that the back-tested calculation is generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Backtested information reflects the application of the index methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, there are numerous factors related to the equities, fixed income, or commodities markets in general which cannot be, and have not been accounted for in the preparation of the index information set forth, all of which can affect actual performance.

The Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investable assets/securities. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC maintains the Index and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the Index. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual and back-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the Index performance shown. As a simple example, if an index returned 10% on a US $100,000 investment for a 12-month period (or US $10,000) and an actual asset-based fee of 1.5% was imposed at the end of the period on the investment plus accrued interest (or US $1,650), the net return would be 8.35% (or US $8,350) for the year. Over a three year period, an annual 1.5% fee taken at year end with an assumed 10% return per year would result in a cumulative gross return of 33.10%, a total fee of US $5,375, and a cumulative net return of 27.2% (or US $27,200).

Source: BlackRock, May 2016. Analysis based on total returns between 1 April 2014 (the month of inception of the ANZ security) and 31 December 2015. Net coupons of hybrid securities

reinvested for fair comparison with fixed income funds. Index returns used for IHHY, IHCB and IHEB due to the funds only being listed on 9 December 2015. Case study provided for

illustrative purposes only. This is not a recommendation to invest in any particular financial product. No analysis of their suitability was conducted and no statement of opinion in relation to

their suitability is provided. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Not only did the new portfolio diversify internationally, it showed that it was possible to

significantly reduce risk while maintaining yield and total return.
