2.Outline of DSI Style Indices

  • DSI are derived by weighting total returns of composing stocks by their market capitalization; DSI-1 are based on free-float shares, while DSI-2 are based on all listed shares.
  • The universe includes all securities listed on Tokyo and Nagoya Stock Exchanges, Osaka Securities Exchange (until 12 July 2013), TOKYO PRO Market, JASDAQ (from the end of December 1989), TSE Mothers (from the end of December 1999), Centrex, and Hercules (from the end of December 2000 to 11 October 2010).
  • Four major categories
    • Large and Small
    • Value and Growth

 Large is subdivided into TOP and NEXT

  • Starting date
    • the end of December, 1983
    • for Total, Large, and Small Indices of DSI-2: the end of December, 1979
  • Value and Growth sectors have been decided using consolidated accounting data since the end of June, 1989

3.Size Classification

3-1.Size Classification

  • Market capitalization is used for Size criteria(DSI-1: Market capitalization is without minority shareholders; free-float ratios weighted, DSI-2:Market capitalization of listed shares)
  • Two major Size categories are Large and Small. Large is subdivided into TOP and NEXT
  • Component stocks are decided by the ranking of market capitalization
  •  Large

    :the largest 500 stocks in terms of market capitalization

  •  Small

    :all other stocks

  •  TOP

    :the largest 100 stocks

  •  NEXT

    :remaining 400 stocks in Large

3-2.Market Capitalization

  • We provide, under the name of DSI, two types of indices. Component stocks are weighted by different types of market capitalizations. As for DSI-1, we use only free-float shares (1), while we use all listed common shares (2) as for DSI-2.
  • (1)=(# of shares outstanding * Free-Float ratio) * price
  • (2)=(# of shares outstanding - preferred,deffered,governmentholding) * price
  • Free-Float ratio = 1 - (# of minority shares / # of shares outstanding)
  • In DSI-1, we use minority shares of TOYO KEIZAI in order to prepare Free-Float ratios of our own name. We set Free-Float ratios to be 0.2 without minority shares in case of new issue, no data and so on.

4.Value and Growth - Definition

4-1.Calculation of Composite score

  • Value-Growth score
    • Value-Growth Score (VGS) is a composite of Value-Growth factor
  • VGS is a composite of the following 4 factors
  •  A.

    Actual Book to Market Capitalization (Value)

  •  B.

    Actual Earnings to Market Capitalization (Value)

  •  C.

    Estimated Return on Equity (Growth)

  •  D.

    Estimated Growth Rate (Growth):the average ranking of estimated sales growth and estimated earnings growth

e100-401.gif

e100-402.gif

  • Composite of 4 factors
    • Ranking(from the smallest) of 4 factors composes Value-Growth Score (VGS)
      ・VGS= ranking A+ ranking B- ranking C-ranking D

4-2.Consolidated and Estimated data

  • Financial data
    • In calculating Value-Growth Score(VGS), consolidated data have been used, when available, since the end of June, 1989.
      (From the term ending in March, 1989, disclosure of consolidated financial statements became mandatory.)
  • Source of Estimated data
    • Estimated data are from corporate reports and TOYO KEIZAI, and the most current data available at any given time are used.
  • Definition of Estimated data
    • In calculating estimated return on equity and estimated growth rates, average estimates for sales and earnings of the next 1st and 2nd settlement periods have been used since the rebalance at the end of June, 2000, because TOYO KEIZAI began to disclose estimated sales and earnings on a consolidation basis for the next two settlement periods.

4-3.Value - Growth Classification Method

  • In consideration for relation between Size and Value-Growth
    • Regression is applied to normalized Value-Growth Score (VGS) as a linear function of the logarithm of market capitalization in order to keep market value and the number of issues in balance.
    • Normalized VGS is calculated from the following BLOM formula.

e100-404.gif Scatter Diagram and Regression Line (as of the end of December,2000)

  • Value-Growth Classification Score (VGCS)
    • VGCS = Normalized VGS - estimate on the regression line

4-4.Value - Growth Weight

  • Buffer zone and weight
    • ±10% from the regression line is the buffer zone
    • Every issue within the buffer zone has both value and growth weight
    • Issues outside the buffer zone whose VGCS is sufficiently high are value and vice versa.

e100-405.gif Value-Growth Buffer

  • Value-Growth Buffer in Style Categories
    • Any stocks within the buffer zone have both Value and Growth weights.
    • Value weight + Growth weight = 1
