EM Equities provide stable dividend payments

For the MSCI EM Equity index, dividend payments have steadily increased over the last 10 years– Dividends have been significantly more stable than earnings

– The dividend payout ratio has been stable over time and mostly in the 30 – 40% range

– However it is currently still ca. 10% below world average

Potential for further increase in dividend payouts, as many companies enter mature growth phase

Acceleration in growth rate of EM dividends over past decade

EM and Asia are the regions with the fastest growth rate of dividends per share

Larger proportion of EM companies in MSCI paid dividends in 2011 than DM peers

Augurs well for the future dividend contribution to total returns

EM have managed DPS compound annual growth rate of 13.1% since 2000

Dividends represent an important component of total return

Dividends compound over the long run to make a substantial contribution to total return– Since the advent of the Global Financial Crisis that contribution has been magnified

In a growth region like EM, high yield stocks outperformed EPS growth in past decade

Dividends higher contribution to total return in recent years has led to a reluctance to shed dividend exposure

Source: UBS, December 2012 – cumulative returns excl. transaction costs, commissions, fees, margin interest. Actual transactions adjusted for such costs will result in reduced total returns

Why high dividend stocks in Emerging Markets ?

Stable dividend payout: EM companies have paid shareholders between 30-50% of their earnings over the past 10 years1.

Ability to pay sustainable dividends: EM companies show low debt levels on their balance sheets and have the cash to fund sustainable dividend payments. Their current payout ratio is ~30-35%1 which is at the lower end of its historic band, suggesting room to increase.

Dividend strategies paid off in the past2: A simple illustrative portfolio that picked the EM stocks with the highest dividend yields, performed significantly better than the market1 over the last 10 years.

Diversification: EM High Dividend funds should provide good diversification to both your yield/income and Emerging markets exposures

Benefits of high and stable yield, with the potential for long-term capital appreciation

Emerging Market Equities: OutlookDespite lower levels of global growth, most major EM economies remain on course to sustain their long term structural growth path

Structural growth potential driven by demographics, urbanisation, productivity and consumption growth

Sound balance sheets– On average low debt levels at government.

corporate and household sectors

Both DM and EM macro policies are supportive:– Loose monetary policy in DM

Economic growth appears to be bottoming out in some key EM countries

Contagion risks from sovereign debt issues in Europe and US– Economies which require global capital markets to

fund current account and fiscal deficits affected

Insufficient top-line growth and increasing wages and input costs could affect profitability in certain sectors

• Rising regulatory intervention– Price controls and resource taxes in emerging

markets

Increase in bank credit/GDP in Asia, back to pre-Asian crisis level

Opportunities Risks

All other information is as at 31 December 2012. 1 Back test rules: At each month end, the universe is restricted to stocks which are in the MSCI EM Index on that date. Each stock has a market capitalisation of at least USD 1 billion on thatdate. 75 stocks with the highest trailing dividend yield over the previous 12 months on that date are selected. These stocks are equally weighted within the portfolio. The portfolio is rebalanced at month end and the total returns computed in USD.Note: Back-test results or past performance are not guides for the future. No restriction to buy/sell stocks i.e. no constraint on having to actually receive dividends and payout the same as income.
