Total Return Indices (TRI)
Introduced in January 2004, the Total Return Indices are calculated daily in addition to the Price Indices. The TRI reflects returns due to both price changes and dividend income. The TRI is hence a better measure of returns from an investor's perspective. In computing the TRI, it is assumed that dividends earned from a share are re-invested in the market.
The ASPI, S&P SL20, and Sector Indices are published daily, using the total returns basis. The ASPI computed on total returns is known as ASTRI.
The TRI in calculated as follows:
Adjustment for Cash Dividend
- In order to adjust the price index for dividends, an index dividend adjustment is computed representing the value of cash dividends declared by the component stocks on ex-dividend date, as expressed in index points.
- The formula used for the computation of the ex-dividend adjustment for a value-weighted total return index such as the ASPI or S&P SL20 is given below:
Where:
Gi - Dividend per share of the ith component security
Wi - Weighting of the ith component security (equal to the number of ordinary shares issued by the company)
B - Base market capitalization of the relevant price index
Base Index Value: ASPI= 100, S&P SL20=1000
Computation of TRI
The formula used for calculating TRI is given below:
Where:
TRIt - Total Return Index value today
TRIy - Total Return Index value previous day
PIt - Underlying Price Index today
PIy - Underlying Price Index previous day
XDJ - Ex-dividend adjustment as computed above
