The Korea Exchange (KRX) has developed four KOSPI 200 Total Return index series, which reflect not only gains from the stock price but the income from dividend, and announced these series on January 11, 2016.
The KOSPI 200 Total Return Index is also calculated based on US Dollar as well as KRW for the convenience of foreign investors.
Two return indices based on KOSPI 200, Total Return index and Net Total Return index are developed both in Korean Won and US Dollar and the exchange rate applied to these indices is WM/Reuters.
The Total Return index reflects not only the gains from stock price fluctuation but the potential profits to be obtained if the dividends are re-invested.
The Net Total Return index is similar to the Total Return index but it deducts dividend tax from dividend income.
