Please note: the index dividend adjustments posted here are a forecast only. These forecasts are provided as a courtesy to our clients, and are based on what market analysts expect companies to pay as a dividend. However, exact company dividends are not known until they are announced to the marketplace on the ex-dividend date. Therefore the final dividend adjustment applied to an index will often differ from the forecast provided below.
