Historical Return
Since inception, the index has returned 6.82% p.a. excluding dividends and 11.31% including dividends (Sept 2021).
What about Dividends?
The All Ordinaries Index does not include dividends. The All Ordinaries Total Return Index (XAOA) includes all cash dividends reinvested on the ex-dividend date (excluding franking credits). This accumulation index is typically only used as a comparison tool for long-term investment returns and therefore not widely quoted on a daily basis.
Rebalances
Rebalances occur annually in March.
In March 2021, there were 62 additions and 57 removals. Unlike most other S&P/ASX indices, if a company is removed from the index there's no replacement until the next rebalance. See a list of historical rebalance announcements.
