Notes to the table
The “Average historical performance by rating” portion of the table shows average yearly performance of stocks over the period of five previous full fiscal years (FY) and the current incomplete FY. The performance of stocks in indices is not weighted, i.e. it corresponds to the performance of an equally-weighted portfolio of stocks of a particular stock index grouped by each stock’s rating at the start of each yearly measurement period.
The individual stock yearly performance is measured from the date when financial statements become public to the date twelve months after that; or (for the current FY) to the current date. Stocks are put into their ratings categories according to the individual ratings they have and the start of the performance measurement period.
This performance was calculated by backtesting the stock valuation model we currently use. For backtesting over the whole period, the stocks that are currently in a particular stock index were used (i.e. there is no adjustment for the “survivorship bias”).
