Decrement Indexes
MSCI has created a series of Decrement Indexes for institutional investors that may be relevant for structured product use. These indexes are designed to represent the performance of a strategy in which a pre-determined amount — in the form of a “synthetic dividend” — is periodically withdrawn from the parent index it tracks.
