| Dow Jones Indexes will expand its Dow Jones Islamic Market Index series by launching the Dow Jones Islamic Market Global Select Dividend Index, a gauge that measures the stock performance of leading dividend-paying companies in developed countries that pass rules-based screens for Shari'ah compliance.
Measuring the performance of 100 of the highest dividend-yielding stocks from the Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index, the index will serve as a benchmark and an underlying instrument for investment products such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). (Press Release) |
