We back-tested 15,000+ portfolio simulations and 30 factors for the Asia Pacific stock universe, over different bear & bull cycle scenarios, and found the following:

a)Dividend Yield as a medium to long term alpha sourceOver a 7 year period from Dec 1997, our backtested Asia Pacific high dividend portfolio achieved +350% absolute return (versus a +85% return for the benchmark).

b)Dividend Yield combined with other stock selection factorsAdditional returns of +5% to +15% per annum can be achieved when dividend yields are combined with other stock selection factors.
