Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the differences in index calculation methods, particularly focusing on the disparity between total market capitalization weighting and dividend yield weighting, which significantly affects the valuation of financial stocks, especially banks [2][3]. Group 1: Index Calculation Methods - Financial indices typically use total market capitalization weighting, meaning stocks with larger market caps have a higher allocation in calculations [2]. - In contrast, dividend indices primarily use dividend yield weighting, where stocks with higher dividend yields receive a greater allocation [2]. - This difference is particularly evident in the case of the China Securities Dividend Index, where major banks like Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have a minimal weight of around 1% due to the dividend yield weighting method [2]. Group 2: Valuation Discrepancies - The total market capitalization of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is approximately 2.6 trillion, which could account for over 10% of the index if calculated by market cap [3]. - When considering other major banks, the financial sector could represent over half of the China Securities Dividend Index by market cap, leading to a calculated price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 8 times [3]. - However, the actual weight of the financial sector in the China Securities Dividend Index is only 23%, similar to the 21% in the CSI 300, indicating a lower P/E ratio of around 10 times when based on actual holdings [3]. Group 3: Strategy Indices and Their Valuations - The article highlights that the issue of valuation discrepancies is more pronounced in strategy indices like the CSI A500, where the reported P/E ratio can be around 17 times, while the actual P/E ratio is closer to 24 times, indicating potential overvaluation [6][7]. - The financial sector's representation in the CSI A500 is only 11.97%, which, when calculated by total market cap, inflates the P/E ratio to around 17 times, contrasting with the actual holdings-based calculation of over 23 times [7]. Group 4: Evolution of Index Calculation - The article notes that most platforms still use a simplistic total market cap weighting for all indices, which may not accurately reflect the complexities of modern strategy indices [9]. - As more strategy indices emerge, each with its own weighting rules, it is suggested that valuation calculations should align with the actual holdings of the indices for greater accuracy [10].
