Introduction
Index Objective
The S&P High Yield Asia Pacific-Ex New Zealand REITs Select Index measures the performance of 30 of the highest dividend-yielding REITs in the S&P Asia Pacific REIT (the "Underlying Index"), excluding companies domiciled in New Zealand. Index constituents are float-adjusted market capitalization weighted, subject to the single stock and single country weight caps described in Index Construction.
For more information on the S&P Asia Pacific REIT, please refer to the S&P Property Indices Methodology available at .

Eligibility Criteria
Index Eligibility
To qualif y for membership in the index, a stock must satisfy the following criteria, as of the rebalancing ref erence date:
1. Be a member of the underlying index, excluding those domiciled in New Zealand. 2. Have a median daily value traded (MDVT) greater than or equal to US$ 3 million for the three-
months prior to the rebalancing reference date (current constituents greater than or equal to US$ 2.7 million). If this results in fewer than 30 eligible stocks, the minimum 3-month MDVT is relaxed until 30 stocks are eligible.

Index Construction
Approaches
There are two steps in the creation of the index. The f irst is the selection of the index constituents; the second is the weighting of the constituents within the index.
Constituent Selection
The selection of index constituents is done as follows: 1. All stocks in the selection universe are ranked in descending order by their 12-month trailing dividend
yield, calculated as their dividends per share for the prior 12 months divided by the stock price as of rebalancing reference date. 2. The top 24 stocks, as ranked by dividend yield, are automatically selected for inclusion. 3. Next, current constituents within the top 36 are chosen by order of rank until 30 stocks are selected. 4. If at this point the target stock count has not been met, the remaining stocks are selected based on their overall selection rank until 30 stocks are selected.
Constituent Weightings
The index is float-adjusted market capitalization weighted. At each rebalancing, the weight of each constituent is capped at 10%, and the weight of each country is capped at 30%. If the country weight constraint results in the sum of weight less than 1, the capped weight of each country is relaxed and capped at 40%, with any capped weight redistributed to uncapped constituents.
For indices that use capping rules across more than one attribute, S&P Dow Jones Indices will utilize an optimization program to satisfy the capping rules. The stated objective for the optimization will be to minimize the difference between the pre-capped weights of the stocks in the index and the final capped weights.
Index Calculations
The index is calculated by means of the divisor methodology used for all S&P Dow Jones equity indices.
For more information on the capped index calculation methodology, please refer to S&P Dow Jones Indices' Index Mathematics Methodology.

Index Maintenance
Rebalancing
The index rebalances semi-annually, effective after the close of the last business day of January and July. The rebalancing reference dates are the last business day of December and June, respectively.
Constituents' index shares are calculated using closing prices seven business days prior to the rebalancing date as the reference price. Index shares are calculated and assigned to each stock to arrive at the weights determined on the reference date. Since index shares are as signed based on reference prices prior to rebalancing, the actual weight of each stock at the rebalancing will differ f rom these weights due to market movements.
Additions. Besides spin-offs, index additions are made only at the semi-annual rebalancing.
Deletions. Index constituents may be removed from the index following a takeover, merger, delisting, bankruptcy, indefinite suspension or if removed from the underlying index.
Spin-Offs. The spun-off company is added to all the indices of which the parent is a constituent, at a zero price at the market close of the day before the ex-date (with no divisor adjustment). If a spun-off company is determined to be ineligible for continued index inclusion, it is removed after at least one day of regular way trading (with a divisor adjustment).
Corporate Actions
For more information on Corporate Actions, please refer to S&P Dow Jones Indices' Equity Indices Policies & Practices Methodology.
Monthly Dividend Review
Index constituents are reviewed on a monthly basis for ongoing eligibility. For more information regarding the monthly dividend review, please refer to Approach B in the Monthly Review for Ongoing Eligibility in Dividend Focused Indices section of S&P Dow Jones Indices' Equity Indices Policies & Practices Methodology.
Currency of Calculation and Additional Index Return Series
The index calculates in U.S. dollars.
The index's end-of-day value is calculated using spot exchange rates taken at 8:00 AM UTC Time.
In addition to the indices detailed in this methodology, additional return series versions of the indices may be available, including, but not limited to: currency, currency hedged, decrement, fair value, inverse, leveraged, and risk control versions. For a list of available indices, please refer to the S&P DJI Methodology & Regulatory Status Database.
For information on the calculation of different types of indices, please refer to S&P Dow Jones Indices' Index Mathematics Methodology.
For the inputs necessary to calculate certain types of indices, including decrement, dynamic hedged, fair value, and risk control indices, please refer to the Parameters documents available at .
