About RDM: Rothko uses a CalcDPS feature powered by a proprietary AI engine that picks up subtle and forward-looking changes in dividend policies across thousands of companies in developed and emerging markets. This feature captures changes in regular dividend payments, announced changes, changes in payments made, changes to special and other dividends that may imply a more regular payment intention by companies as well as dividend policies announced and reported by companies.

About the RDM data visualization: MSCI All Countries World Constituents are used here. Sizing is based on USD market capitalization as at 30 September 2020. Colouring relates to the percentage change in USD dividends per share (DPS) and represents changes in dividend policy such as regular payments missed, changes in normal dividends, includes currency valuations and changes in outstanding shares in issuance. We are showing only those companies that have seen a change in regular, announced or stated dividends. Those that have not paid nor altered payments since 31 March 2020 are not included in this analysis but will be updated as changes occur.
