DEM screens for the highest dividend-yielding stocks within the emerging markets. Including in its selection universe are dividend-paying companies over the prior annual cycle that meet minimum liquidity and size requirements. DEM selects the top 30% of firms ranked by dividend yield from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index. In addition, approximately 100 Chinese domestic listed companies by highest dividend yield that meet the index eligibility criteria will be selected for inclusion. Selected securities are then weighted based on dividends paid over the preceding annual cycle. Companies that pay higher dividends are more heavily weighted. Index reconstitution occurs annually.
