Introducing Elston's UK Equity Income Index
About this index
Inflation is on the rise. Whilst liquid real assets can help near-term and medium-term protection, equities - particularly with a value/income bias - may provide medium- to long-term inflation protection.
The Freedom Smart-Beta UK Dividend Index is a UK Equity Income index administered by Elston.
This Index is:
1. Income focused: The index is dividend weighted, rather than market cap weighted or yield-ranked. This inherently creates a value bias.
2. Forward looking: The index uses forecast dividend growth, rather than past dividend performance, so keeps up with changing outlook.
3. Systematic rules-based approach: The index is objective and data led when it comes to selecting companies with dividend potential.

Index InformationFreedom Smart-Beta UK Dividend Index [ELSUKI Index]
Index Objectives: The index uses consensus forecast gross cash dividends for each constituent company, in relation to the total for the index, to determine the size of each holding. The index is therefore dividend weighted and rebalanced monthly to reflect changing consensus estimates. The index is a Net Total Return index. [ELSUKI Index].
