STOXX introduces Maximum Dividend Strategy Index

December 5, 2011--STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today introduced the STOXX Europe Maximum Dividend 40 Index. The new index represents a hypothetical investment portfolio that aims to maximize the dividend yield of the STOXX Europe 600 Index by selecting those 40 companies in the underlying index that have the highest expected dividend yield.

The STOXX Europe Maximum Dividend 40 Index is designed to act both as a proper benchmark for actively managed funds, and to underlie exchange-traded funds and other investable products.

“With the launch of the STOXX Europe Maximum Dividend 40 Index we are further expanding our successful range of innovative dividend strategy indices,” said Hartmut Graf, chief executive officer, STOXX Limited. “This new index offers market participants a ground-breaking tool to follow the dividend return of Europe’s 40 top dividend yielding companies selected from Europe’s major benchmark index.”

The STOXX Europe Maximum Dividend 40 Index consists of those 40 companies in the STOXX Europe 600 Index which have the highest expected dividend yield and will pay a dividend within the forthcoming adjustment period. The expected dividend yield is determined by the announced and the estimated dividend amount, as well as the closing price of the stock at the time of selection. In order to improve the index’s liquidity, an additional liquidity screening is applied during the selection process. This results in a liquidity adjusted expected dividend yield used for selection and weighting of the index constituents.

Sterling could yet win ‘ugly currency’ competition

December 2, 2011-Sterling is not at the forefront of most investors’ minds. In a week that has seen sentiment on both Europe and the US improve significantly, the pound has seemed immune to the increasingly poor outlook in the UK.

That might not last much longer. Sterling, almost by default, has been benefiting from some rather reluctant haven flows in the past few months. It costs about 86p to buy a euro, down from 91p in June, the point at which things started to look dire for Europe.

France and Germany to battle debt crisis with new EU treaty

December 2, 2011-- France and Germany will push for a new European Union treaty to impose tough budgetary discipline on the debt-ravaged eurozone, President Nicolas Sarkozy declared ahead of a critical week for the euro.

The French leader was to meet Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday to discuss the crisis and then Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday to agree a joint Franco-German proposal to save the single currency.

Then, on December 8 and 9, all 27 European leaders will meet at the EU Summit in Brussels, a meeting which some observers have billed as their last chance to restore the credibility of eurozone economic governance.

IMF says could raise new funds from Europe

December 2, 2011--The IMF confirmed Friday that it could raise new funds for onlending from Europe, amid speculation that the European Central Bank might provide money to the Fund that could be used to help Italy and Spain.

"The IMF will need more resources should the crisis deepen further, and... the European authorities -- like some other IMF member countries -- are exploring bilateral loans to the IMF," IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said in a statement.

"As we have also noted, such loans could indeed come from member country central banks, and indeed these central banks are already lending to the Fund under the new arrangements to borrow and bilateral agreements since 2009," he said.
