MSE Equity Total Return Index (MSETRX)

 The Malta Stock Exchange will on Monday 31st July 2017 introduce the MSE Equity Total Return Index (MSETRX).

The TRX will replace the current MSE Equity Index which is solely a price index. The new MSETRX will not only take into consideration price fluctuations of the component shares but will also reflect the dividends these companies pay. It will be assumed that all dividends are reinvested back into the index components.

A total return index represents far better the true potential economic benefit of equity investments being they also reflect dividends paid and the potential benefits of compounding.
