Description

The fund provides exposure to high dividend-paying companies globally through a 300-stock composite of US, developed market ex-US, and emerging market dividend indexes. Eligible securities in these three indexes are screened for size, liquidity, dividend history, dividend growth, EPS, and/or dividend coverage ratio. In each sub-index, securities are selected and weighted based on dividend yield. Final index weights are derived by multiplying the underlying index weight with the corresponding region weight in the S&P Global BMI. CYH uses a sampling strategy to track its index, which is generally rebalanced annually. The fund also comes with a currency hedge for CAD-based investors.
