Subject:
Swaps + high dividends • an interesting combination... [CI
Classification: Confidential
Jeffrey,
We came across with the following structure that takes advantage of high dividends to finance the funding of an excess
return swap with floored downside. I thought it was clever... Interested in hearing your thoughts. If you would like we can
refresh pricing.
Structure linked to Stoxx Low Beta High Dividend Index
Index Description
The STOXX Europe Low Beta High Div 50 Index is derived from the STOXX Europe 600 Index. To be eligible for inclusion
in the new index, companies must have a net dividend yield for the past twelve
months that is higher than the overall net dividend yield of the EURO STOXX 50 Index over the same time period. All
those companies are then screened for their beta to the EURO STOXX 50 Index over the past twelve months, and only
those 50 companies with the lowest beta are selected. A cap of eight companies per country is applied to ensure
diversification in the index.
The STOXX Europe Low Beta High Div 50 Index is weighted by liquidity measured through components' three month
average daily trading volume (ADTV), with a single component's weight cap of 5 percent. The index is reviewed annually
in December, with the cutoff date for dividend yield and beta data being the last trading day of the previous month.
