Total return
Whenever available, indexes are presented in their total return version. In a total return index, the dividends from securities in the index are reinvested. Total return indexes are preferable for benchmark purposes because they are a better representation of the total income (capital gain as well as income). Indexes in total return version are generally suffixed with the letters TR, although naming conventions vary between index providers.
If an index is not available in Kwanti
If an index is not supported in Kwanti, you can use a proxy ETF. We recommend using the Screener to help identify such ETF.
