Dividend Achievers
Mergent pioneered the US Dividend Achievers Index which is now tracked by $7bn worth of funds managed by BlackRock, Invesco PowerShares and Vanguard. The UK equivalent was launched in 2010. Back tested over 5 years, the UK equivalent apparently outperformed the wider UK index by nearly a percentage point every year. In the 12 months to January 2011, it saw a 20.8% increase, out-performing its MSC benchmark by almost 3%.
