Introduction

Dividend indices are one of the most widely recognized factor-based strategies.  According to Morningstar, as of Sept. 30, 2022, there were 411 dividend-focused exchange-traded products (ETPs) worldwide, with over AUD 522 billion in AUM.  Dividend ETPs had inflows of over AUD 97 billion in the first three quarters of 2022.  With over AUD 3.5 billion in AUM—or 40% of the Australian factor ETP market—the dividend factor is one of the most popular in Australia. 

In this paper, we will examine the Australian dividend market in depth and analyze the historical performance of the Australian high dividend yield strategy.
