Hi
Are these the nominal returns for the JSE/FTSE all share index? Also are they just the returns of the index without any dividend yield?
Thanks for your response
Yes. They are all returns of the index excluding dividend yields. Thx.
David,
I just came across this article today saying that the returns for the Alsi posted here are total returns, capital growth plus dividends http://www.standardbank.co.za/site/2013/dm2013/148004_2.html
?
Darryn
I stand corrected. The Standard Bank data is correct also. It is total returns which includes dividends. Please see this link also:
