Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the performance and investment potential of dividend index funds, highlighting their long-term ability to outperform the market and the various sources of returns associated with them [3][5]. Group 1: Long-term Performance of Dividend Indices - Dividend indices have shown a long-term effectiveness in the A-share market, achieving significant excess returns compared to the CSI 300 index from May 12, 2017, to January 16, 2026 [3]. - The volatility of dividend indices is lower than that of the CSI 300, indicating a slow bull market characteristic [3]. Group 2: Sources of Returns for Dividend Indices - The returns from dividend index funds primarily come from four sources: profit growth, valuation improvement, dividend income, and rule optimization [6][13]. - Profit growth is the fundamental driver of dividend index appreciation, with stable net profit growth observed from 2022 to 2024 [9]. - Valuation improvement contributes to returns, although its impact is relatively limited for dividend indices [10][11]. - Dividend income is significant for dividend and value-oriented indices, with the annualized return of the Hang Seng Dividend Low Volatility Index from November 14, 2014, to January 16, 2026, being 8.42% [19]. - Recent policies have encouraged higher dividend payouts, leading to an increase in dividend yields compared to 5-10 years ago [21][23]. Group 3: Impact of Policy Changes - Policies introduced in 2023-2024 have aimed to enhance dividend stability and predictability, resulting in a rise in the number and amount of cash dividends distributed by A-share companies, reaching approximately 2.4 trillion in 2024 [22]. - The increase in dividend payout ratios has led to a higher dividend yield, although it may result in slower profit growth for underlying stocks [25]. Group 4: Market Dynamics and Style Rotation - The decline in dividend indices can be attributed to style rotation, where value styles underperform during periods of strong growth styles [31][32]. - Historical performance shows a pattern of alternating between growth and value styles, with recent trends indicating a resurgence of growth styles since late 2025 [33][38]. Group 5: Current Valuation of Dividend Indices - As of January 2026, some dividend indices remain undervalued, with the market rating around 3.8 stars [39].
