The Fund adopts the same evidence based, systematic strategy as the Hamilton12 Australian Diversified Yield Index (H12ADYI), calculated independently by S&P Dow Jones Indices, with history back to 8 September 2000. Stocks are drawn from the All Ordinaries, selected on projected franked dividends within six months of each rebalance, and weighted for capitalisation and liquidity with diversification rules across all 11 ICB sectors. The portfolio rebalances six times per year.
The index history serves as independent proof-testing of the strategy. Index performance prior to its November 2020 launch is back-tested.
