Datastream Global Equity Indices
Overview
Datastream Global Equity Indices draw on the wealth of the Thomson Datastream database to provide a range of equity indices across 53 countries, 32 regions and 170 sectors worldwide. They form a comprehensive, independent standard for equity research and benchmarking. For each market, a representative sample of stocks covering a minimum 75 - 80% of total market capitalisation enables market indices to be calculated. By aggregating market indices for regional groupings, regional and world indices are produced. Within each market, stocks are allocated to industrial sectors using the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) jointly created by FTSE and Dow Jones. Sector indices are then calculated. Across the range of Datastream Global Equity Indices, daily data is available for a minimum of five years wherever possible, and from 1973 for the major markets. Datastream Global Equity Indices provide: A standard for equity analysis and comparison that draws on the breadth and depth of the Thomson Datastream database. Good depth of data for each index, including total returns, price-earnings, dividend yield, market value and more. Full integration with other data available through Datastream, enabling detailed comparison with other market or user created indices, rates, economic indicators, and any of the huge universe of tradeable securities held on the database. You can select appropriate charting and reporting tools from Datastream's functionally rich set. Quarterly review to ensure that the indices continue to represent the top stocks by market capitalisation and reflect investment trends as new markets and sectors rise to prominence. Unique set of fundamental indicators using Worldscope data that can be used to provide a detailed overview of global markets and sectors.
Datastream Global Equity Indices: the index family

Stocks are classified by industry and sector type - for example financials is an industry within which a number of sectors are included such as banks, life assurance and real estate. The classification structure is based on the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) jointly created by FTSE and Dow Jones and is updated when changes are made to this classification. Each sector contains a representative sample of major stocks within that classification. Datastream uses these constituent stocks when calculating an index for a sector. You can find the ICB structure, with mnemonics in Appendix B.
Index Levels
Datastream Global Equity Indices break down into six levels. Level 1 is the market index, this covers all the sectors in each region or country. Level 2 divides the market into 10 industries and covers all the sectors within each group in each region or country. Levels 3 - 6 subdivide the level 2 classifications into sector classifications in increasing detail. Level 1

Country indices
Datastream currently provides country level indices for 53 countries. These are available from market, level 1 index, to detailed subsector, level 6 index. To use these indices, select the sector mnemonic and add the country mnemonic. For example: For the French market index at level 1 use: TOTMKFR For the French financials industry index at level 2 use: FINANFR For the French banks subsector at level 6 use: BANKSFR You can find the sector classifications and countries, with mnemonics in Appendix B together with the available datatypes. The list DSGLOBAL contains the current Datastream Global Equity country market indices.
Regional and global indices

The countries are aggregated into global and regional indices covering prime trading and geographic blocs worldwide. These are available for market, level 1 index, to detailed subsector, level 6 index. To use these indices, select the sector mnemonic and add the region mnemonic. For example: For the World market index at level 1 use: TOTMKWD For the Europe financials industry index at level 2 use: FINANFR For the Europe banks sector at level 6 use: BANKSER
You can find the sector classifications and regions, with mnemonics, in Appendix B together with the available datatypes. The list DSWORLD contains the current Datastream Global Equity regional market indices. To compute global and regional indices, the national indices are converted to US dollars. The conversion uses the exchange rate from the local currency to US Dollars that applied on each day of the history.
Datatypes
By default, Datastream Global Equity Indices display price index data. You can also select a range of datatypes for the indices including total return (RI), price earnings (PE), turnover by volume (VO) and fundamental datatypes using Worldscope data such as Total Sales (DWSL). A list of available datatypes with full definitions is available in appendix A, pages 17-43.
Lists
You can list the constituents of indices. For regional indices, including world, you can list the constituent indices or the constituent stocks. For countries you can list the constituent stocks.
Regional constituent indices

To list the market constituent indices for Europe, use the sector mnemonic and add the region mnemonic and prefix the mnemonic with L. For example: LTOTMKER LCHMCLER gives the constituent indices of the market index for Europe gives the constituent indices of the chemicals sector index for Europe
Regional constituent stocks

To list the market constituent stocks for Europe, use the sector mnemonic and add the region mnemonic and prefix with G#L. For example: G#LTOTMKER gives the constituent stocks of the market index for Europe G#LCHMCLER gives the constituent stocks of the chemicals index for Europe
Country constituent stocks

To list the market constituent stocks for Germany, select the sector mnemonic and add the country mnemonic and prefix with L. For example: LTOTMKBD LCHMCLFR gives the constituent stocks of the market index for Germany gives the constituent stocks of the chemicals index for France
Country indices list

Sector lists
To obtain lists of all sectors in a country available at a given level, add 'LEVELx' to the country or regional code. For example: LEVEL3TK LEVEL4EU provides a list of all level 3 supersectors in Turkey provides a list of all level 4 sectors in Europe
Country and regional codes are available on pages 55 - 58.
Index Composition and maintenance

A set of rules governs the composition and Maintenance of Datastream Global Equity Indices: Indices are calculated on a representative list of stocks for each market. The number of stocks for each market is determined by the size of the market. The sample covers a minimum of 75 - 80% of total market capitalisation. Suitability for inclusion is determined by market value and availability of data: the largest value stocks for each market are included. Stocks with more than one equity issue are valued on each issue. Factors such as liquidity, non-public holdings of shares, and cross-holdings are ignored in the selection process. Index constituents for each market are reviewed quarterly and re-set to represent the new top group of stocks by market value. The quarterly reviews take place in January, April, July, and October each year. Dow Jones and FTSE review the ICB hierarchy every year and a decision made on when to implement these changes. The changes to the Datastream equity universe and Datastream Global Equity Indices will be implemented shortly afterwards. Details will be provided on the Customer Extranet - (http:// extranet.datastream.com). Unless a new issue is regarded as of exceptional significance (for example, a major government privatisation), it will not be added until the following quarterly review. Delisted stocks are removed from an index when notification of delisting is received. Temporarily suspended stocks remain in an index after the date of suspension. However, if it is considered that suspension is going to be long term, suspended stocks are removed from an index. Removed stocks are not replaced in an index until the next quarterly review. Excluded securities are: Fixed interest stocks; Temporary issues; Warrants; Unit trusts, mutual funds, investment funds; Foreign listings, including ADRs. Pre 1999 stocks are included in the index history with effect from the base date of each stock, and post 1999 stocks from the point of addition to the index constituent list. This follows the implementation of the FTSE Global Classification System for the FTSE UK indices in April 1999.
All indices are updated daily. This happens when closing prices are updated in London from each market. Far Eastern indices are updated by early afternoon GMT, and Europe by late evening GMT on the day of trading; US, Canadian and regional indices are updated by early morning of the following day. The replacement of the FTSE Global Classification with ICB in January 2006 led to a number of changes to the Datastream Global Equity Indices. The majority of the original Datastream indices were mapped to the ICB equivalent so the history of the old index formed the history of the new ICB index, so for example, Datastream Engineering & Machinery became Datastream Industrial Engineering.
Calculation methods
The most commonly used index datatypes are available in both fixed and recalculated form. Recognising the distinct merits of each for market analysis, the datatypes are maintained in parallel. Fixed index datatypes (MV, PI, PE, DY and RI) Fixed index datatypes are not recalculated historically when constituents change. This method of calculation has become the industry norm, enabling the effects of dead stocks to be seen on the index. Recalculated index datatypes (MV.R, PI.R, PE.R, DY.R, RI.R) These datatypes, in contrast to fixed history datatypes, are recalculated historically to show the long term performance of current constituents, and to avoid distortions by stocks entering or leaving a sector. To obtain the recalculated index value, use.R as a datatype suffix, for example DY.R for a recalculated dividend yield. Note that datatypes drawn from company accounts (ie PC) change on analysis of the annual report and are recalculated historically using the current list of constituents.

Key refers to datatypes that are generally available for most indices. Other refers to datatypes that are specific to certain markets.
18
Currency (SICUR)
The currency in which the index is quoted, that is implies pounds sterling.
Dividend Yield (DY)

This is derived by calculating the total dividend amount and expressing it as a percentage of the market value for the constituents. This provides an average of the individual yields of the constituents weighted by market value.
Where: DYt Dt Nt Pt n = aggregate dividend yield on day t = dividend per share on day t = number of shares in issue on day t = price on day t = number of constituents in index
Dividend yield, net basis (YN) - UK only The dividend yield is calculated in the same way as the dividend yield datatype (DY) except that the tax credit on dividends is excluded from the dividend amount.
Dividend yield recalculated (DY.R) This is the recalculated dividend yield based on the current constituents. That is, historic data for the current constituents are used in the dividend yield calculations to ensure data consistency.
19
Market Value (MV)

Index market value is available for all the Datastream Global Equity Indices. The index market value on Datastream is the sum of the share price multiplied by the number of ordinary shares in issue for each index constituent. The amount in issue is updated whenever new tranches of stock are issued or after a change in capital. Market value is displayed in million units of local currency for the national indices and million units of US$ for the regional indices. For equity indices, the calculation is:
Where: Nt Pt n = number of shares in issue on day t = price on day t = number of constituents in index
Market Value, recalculated (MV.R) The recalculated market value, based on the current constituents. That is, historical data for the current constituents is used in the market value calculations to ensure data consistency.
20
Number of falls (FS)

The number of stocks whose closing price is lower than the closing price on the previous day.
Number of rises (RS)

The number of stocks whose closing price is higher than the closing price on the previous day.
Number unchanged (UC)

The number of stocks whose closing price is unchanged on the closing price of the previous day.
Breadth index
These datatypes can be used to calculate a breadth index for a market or sector. The breadth index is an indicator of the spread of activity, ie: Breadth = No. of rises + No. of falls Total number of stocks For example, the breadth index for the Datastream market index for Taiwan is: Breadth = TOTMKTA(RS) + TOTMKTA(FS) TOTMKTA(RS) + TOTMKTA(FS) + TOTMKTA(UC)
21
Price/cash flow ratio (PC)

The price/cash earnings ratio at any given date is the price divided by cash earnings per share for the appropriate financial year, adjusted for capital changes. For Datastream sectors, this is derived by dividing market value by the latest total cash earnings amount. It is calculated as follows:
Where: PCEt Pt Nt CEt n = price/cash earnings ratio on day t = price on day t = number of shares in issue on day t = cash earnings per share on day t = number of constituents in index
The summations are performed on the constituent list as they exist on day t.
22
Price/earnings ratio (PE)

Derived by dividing market value by the total earnings, thus providing an earningsweighted average of the PERs of the constituents. It is calculated as follows:
Where: PEt Pt Nt Et n = price earnings ratio on day t = price on day t = number of shares in issue on day t = earnings per share on day t (negative earnings per share are treated as zero) = number of constituents in index
The earnings per share is generally obtained from Worldscope or local market sources. Worldscope markets include USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Netherlands and Austria.
Price/earnings ratio, recalculated (PE.R)

The recalculated PE Ratio, based on the current constituents. That is, historic data for the current constituents are used in the PER calculations to ensure data consistency.
23
Price index, default (PI)

This is the default datatype for equity indices. Datastream calculates its own aggregate sector and market price indices, together with associated aggregations such as sector price/earnings ratio (PE) and dividend yield (DY). Sector and market aggregations are weighted by market value and are calculated using a representative list of shares. Io = 100
Where: It It-1 Pt Pt-1 Nt f n = index value on day t = index value on previous working day = unadjusted price on day t = unadjusted price on previous working day = number of shares in issue on day t = adjustment factor for a capital action occurring on day t = number of constituents in index
The summations are performed on the constituents as they exist on day t.
Price index, recalculated (PI.R)

This is the recalculated aggregate price index, based on the current constituents. That is, historic data for the current constituents are used in the price index calculations to ensure data consistency.
24
Price to Book Value (BP)

Price to book value is now available for all Datastream Global Equity Indices (apart from Brazil, Bulgaria,Cyprus, Romania, Venezuela) and sector indices. The datatype mnemonic is BP and is calculated as follows:
Where:
P NOSH 1308 BP
= latest daily price

= = =
latest number of shares book value per share Price to book ratio
1308 is the book value (proportioned common equity divided by outstanding shares) at the company's fiscal year end and is Worldscope item 05476 for non-US companies and ADRs and 05491 for US companies. Values are adjusted for capital events on the same basis as the prices used.
25
Return index (RI)

The return index presents the theoretical growth in value of a notional stock holding, the price of which is that of the selected price index. This holding is deemed to return a daily dividend, which is used to purchase new units of the stock at the current price. The gross dividend is used.
Where: RIt RIt-1 PIt PIt-1 DY f n = return index on day t = return index on previous day = price index on day t = price index on previous day = dividend yield of the price index = grossing factor (normally 1) - if the dividend yield is a net figure rather than gross, f is used to gross up the yield = number of days in financial year (normally 260) * 100
Return index, recalculated (RI.R)

This is the recalculated aggregate return index, based on the current constituents. That is, historic data for the current constituents are used in the return index calculations to ensure data consistency.
Return index, net basis (RN) - UK only

The return index (net basis) is calculated in the same way as the return Index except that the tax credit is not included in the dividend payment account.
26
Turnover by value (VA)

For a market, this shows the aggregation of number of shares traded multiplied by the closing price for each stock. The figure is always expressed in thousands.
Where: VAt VOt Pt n = value on day t = volume of shares traded on day t = unadjusted share price on day t = number of constituents in index
Turnover by volume (VO)

This shows the aggregation of the number of shares for each stock in the index traded on a particular day. The figure is always expressed in thousands.
27
Turnover by Umsatzstatistik volume (VZ) - Germany only

German orderbook volumes are provided for all equities listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange. Deutsche Brse AG switched their standard statistics from the so-called "Umsatzstatistik" to the new "Orderbuchstatistik" on 1st July 1998. Orderbuch volumes count all transactions that are completed on Xetra or the floor trading orderbook and in which an official stock exchange price is determined. Only sell-side transactions are included. Use VO for Orderbuch volumes. Umsatzstatistik volumes include both orderbook trades and trades that market participants have entered directly into the exchanges settlement data system, in particular entries by the brokers and backs as well as transactions between brokers. It includes both buy and sell side of transaction, henceforth double counting any trade. It comprises Frankfurt floor-traded, Xetra and Germany's seven regional exchanges.
Turnover by Umsatzstatistik value (VY) - Germany only

This shows the aggregation of the number of shares traded multiplied by the closing price for each stock. The figure is always expressed in thousands. Use VA for Orderbuch volumes.
28
Datatype definitions for regional indices

Dividend Yield (DY)
Where: KDYt DYt MVt n = regional dividend yield at time t = country dividend yield at time t = country market value at time t = number of constituent countries
Market Value (MV)

Uses the same formula as provided for the country indices.
29
Price/earnings ratio (PE)
Where: KPEt PEt MVt n = regional PE ratio at time t = country PE ratio at time t = country market value at time t = number of constituent countries
Price index (PI)

KPI0 = 100
Where: KPI MV PI ER = regional price index = country market value = country price index = country exchange rate to US dollars
30
Price to Book Value

Price to book value is now available for all Datastream Global Equity Indices (apart from Brazil, Bulgaria,Cyprus, Romania, Venezuela) and sector indices. The datatype mnemonic is BP and is calculated as follows:
Where: P NOSH 1308 BP =

= = =
latest daily price latest number of shares book value per share Regional Price to Book ratio
1308 is the book value (proportioned common equity divided by outstanding shares) at the company's fiscal year end and is Worldscope item 05476 for non-US companies and ADRs and 05491 for US companies. Values are adjusted for capital events on the same basis as the prices used.
31
Return Index (RI)

KPI0 = 100
Where: KPI n f = regional price index = number of working days = factor (ie: 1)
Turnover by value/Turnover by volume (VA/VO)

Use the same formula as provided for the country indices.
32
Worldscope (DW) Equity Datatypes

A comprehensive set of new fundamental datatypes is now available for Datastream Global Equity indices and equities. The data is sourced from Worldscope and based on a trailing twelve month period if applicable. The data represents the sum of the relevant item reported in the last twelve months. From the fiscal period 2002, the items are populated from the quarterly, semi-annual and trimester time series based on the availability of the underlying data. When trailing twelve month data is unavailable or for values before fiscal period 2002, the annual Worldscope datatype is used as indicated below. The new 4 character datatypes can be used with the Datastream Global Equity indices and also all companies covered by Worldscope on Datastream.

Worldscope (DW) Equity Datatypes

The following rules and principles apply to the calculation of the Datastream Worldscope (DW) equity datatypes. Please note the special rules for ratios below. Series construction Company data is used at security level. The currency of the DW datatypes is the currency of the Worldscope accounts data (datatype ACUR). Worldscope interim trailing twelve month fields are used in preference to annuals if the interim data is available for all the required interim periods from the fiscal period 2002. The annual equivalent fields are used before fiscal period 2002 and where the interim trailing twelve month for the item does not exist (after fiscal period 2002) Only natural frequency interim data is used (e.g. for France - semi annual and not quarterly). If the interim period end date (WC05350A) is not available or missing, the date is calculated from the annual period end date. The trailing twelve month fields take account of preliminarily results but not restatements.

The last available valid value pads forward until the next valid value becomes available. In the case where the value for the DW is for an earlier fiscal period date than the current fiscal period end date (this may occur where other values are already available for a later period end date), this latest value will be padded though to be used with the latest fiscal period date. Special rules for Ratios Values are only calculated where there are Worldscope supplied values (not N/ As) available for both the numerator and denominator for the ratio at that date, otherwise the previous value will be padded forward. If either the numerator or denominator is zero or the denominator is negative a N/A value (rather than a padded value) will be stored for that date. Retrieval rules With Worldscope datatypes, the new values are stored from the fiscal period start date, whereas with these new DW valuation datatypes, new values are stored from the period end date, reflecting more closely when the information would have been known.
Worldscope (DW) Equity Index Datatypes

Please note the special rules for ratios below: Series construction The currency of the DW datatypes is the currency used for the other values for the index (datatype SICUR). Where the Worldscope information is displayed in a different currency to the index, the values (including padded values) are converted to the index currency using the exchange rate for the date of the value. These values are calculated weekly (at the weekend) from the base date (using the current constituents) with some recalculations run during the week on ad hoc basis if required (note: the DW datatypes at company level are updated as the data is supplied by from Worldscope). Where companies move sectors or in/out of indices as a results of the constituents review, this recalculation smoothes the impact on the index datatypes (particularly the monetary ones). However, there may still be an impact on the continuity of the series if companies have more recent base dates than the index.
37
No free float factor is used for the Datastream index calculation. Index calculation excludes the values from the aggregate at sector level when the security is not the primary security (datatype MAJOR=N) so as to avoid the duplicate accounting (see additional notes below), and where the Worldscope values are for periods prior to the equity security base date (BDATE) even if the Worldscope data is available.
Note The exclusion of data according to these rules naturally results in the difference between the index and the equivalent sum of the datatype values for the constituents. There is also specific treatment for companies such as HSBC and Reed Elsevier to ensure that where they have unusual listing structures, this is taken account of (see additional notes at the end).
Special rules for Ratios Values are only used in the calculation of the index ratio if there are Worldscope supplied values (not N/As) available for both the numerator and denominator for the ratio at that date, otherwise the previous value will be padded forward. If the denominator of a constituent company is negative the values for the numerator and denominator are not used for the calculation of the aggregated value. Retrieval rules With Worldscope datatypes, the new values are stored from the fiscal period start date, whereas with these new DW valuation datatypes, new values are stored from the period end date, reflecting more closely when the information would have been known. Special treatment China A index (TOTMKCA) and China index (TOTMKCH): The China A index is comprised of class A shares of mainland Chinese companies traded on the Shanghai and Shenzen exchanges and which are investable only by Chinese nationals. The China index is comprised of class H shares of mainland Chinese companies traded on the Hong Kong exchange and which are investable by non-nationals, and class B shares traded in China by non-nationals. Many major Chinese companies issue several classes of shares and therefore have constituents in both indices. The new valuation datatypes reflect data at the company level and so for both Chinese indices the data is included in the sector and market aggregations irrespective of whether the security is a major or minor security (datatype MAJOR is Y or N ). Note that only the H index is included in regional and world indices.
38
HSBC, Fortis and Dexia are regarded as having dual primary listings as follows : HSBC: London and Hong Kong Fortis : Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam Dexia : Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris They are included in both respective country indices, and so are included in the aggregations for both country and regional indices. Royal Dutch Shell has two classes of shares, class A and class B. To best reflect the companys listing structure both classes of securities are flagged as the major security (datatype MAJOR =Y) and both classes of shares are included in the UK index (TOTMKUK). To avoid double counting the companys accounts information is only included once in the aggregate. Reed Elsevier has two parent companies, Reed Elsevier PLC (UK) and Reed Elsevier NV (Netherlands). The two companies are constituents of the UK and Netherlands indices respectively. Accounts information for the individual constituent companies is not available, so this is substituted by published consolidated data. The consolidated accounts information used in the index aggregations are held on a third Datastream code 878023. The Datastream Worldscope datatypes for this code can be displayed and downloaded in the normal way.

Other useful datatypes

Associated Datastream price index datatypes
The market and sector datatypes provide a short cut in obtaining details on the market or sector index in which a particular stock resides. There are two sets of datatypes available to obtain relative information: those that retrieve the associated index as a time series so that it can be used in a chart or report that displays index relative information, and those that return the mnemonic of the associated index.
Datatype Time series Mnemonic MI LI FEI FSI SEI DSI INDX INDXL INDXEG INDXFS INDXSE INDXS Datastream Market Level 1 Datastream Total Market Country Index Local Market Level 2 Local Markets Index, eg FTSE All Share Datastream Level 3 Sector ICB supersector Datastream Level 4 Sector ICB sector Datastream Level 5 Sector ICB subsector Datastream Level 6 Sector Datastream subsector Description Example
The time series datatype returns the relevant index for a given security. For example, using Shell, SHEL(DSI) etc... The mnemonic datatype returns the index mnemonic. For example, using Vodafone Group, VOD(DSI) returns the Datastream UK Mobile Telecommunications index in a chart program. The above datatypes can be qualified with an index datatype to retrieve time series for the associated index represented by that datatype. These can be obtained by suffixing the market/sector datatype with the character # followed by the required index datatype. For example, using Vodafone, VOD(DSI#RI) returns the return index for the Datastream UK Mobile Telecommunications index. The DSI and MI datatypes can also be used with the Datastream Worldscope DW datatypes eg VOD(DSI#DWEV) returns Enterprise Value for the Datastream Mobile Telecommunications index.
Base or start date (BDATE)

Equities The base date is the date from which Datastream holds information about the issue; for the UK the base date is one day before trading in the stock starts - this allows us to store the issue price. Price, dividend, and earnings data are collected on a daily basis from the base date of the stock. Where the nature of a company's business has changed materially, due to a merger or the splitting off of one or more divisions, Datastream rebases the stock.
40
Indices The base date is the date from when the indices are based. This is normally the start date for when values are available.
Datastream sector mnemonic at level 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 (INDC2/3/4/5/6)

This datatype returns the Datastream sector mnemonic of an equity at levels 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. For example, BMATR is the mnemonic for the Datastream Basic Material industry at level 2. The INDC6 datatype is equivalent to the INDC datatype. These datatypes can be applied universally to all equities in research markets irrespective of whether the equity is a Datastream index constituent or not.
ICB codes level 2, 3, 4, or 5 (FTAG2/3/4/5)

This datatype returns a numeric code representing the ICB industry sector at levels 2, 3, 4 or 5. The codes are structured in such a way to show how the detailed sectors at level 5 map to the broader sectors at level 4, 3 and 2. For example, 1000 is the code for the ICB Basic Materials Industry. This datatype can be applied universally to all research equities covered by Datastream. An up to date list of ICB codes can be obtained from the ICB website. http://www.icbenchmark.com/icb_structure.html

Industry mnemonics and code numbers

The table below gives a breakdown of the Datastream Global Equity Index hierarchy based on ICB. The changes were effective 9 March 2008. Key: Level 2 - Equates to the ICB industry level, dividing the total market into 10 Industries and covers all the sectors within each group in each region or country. Level 3 - Equates to the ICB supersector level. Level 4 - Equates to the ICB sector level. Level 5 - Equates to the ICB subsector. Level 6 - Datastream subsector level. The classification of Investment Trusts will remain the same due to the current level of classification that is already employed by Datastream.

Datastream calculated indices
For some non-Datastream indices, Datastream has permission from the source index agency or exchange to calculate indices that are not currently calculated or made available by the index agency themselves. For these indices, the index datatype includes DS in the title to distinguish them from index datatypes calculated directly by the index agency or exchange. For example, ASXAORD(DSDY) returns the Datastream calculated dividend yield for the ASX All Ords Index. There are 5 Datastream calculated index datatypes.
Datastream calculated turnover by volume Datastream calculated market value Datastream calculated market value Datastream calculated return index Datastream calculated dividend yield Datastream calculated price earnings ratio Datastream calculated turnover by value
(DSVO) (DSMV) (DSMV) (DSRI) (DSDY) (DSPE) (DSVA)
The datatype definitions for Datastream-calculated indices are the same as the Datastream Global indices. The list DSCALC contains the available Datastream calculated indices.
