    I was wondering how dividends, specifically franking credits, are treated in reference to the ASX200 Accumulation Index. Are they grossed up or does the index use the net yield and ignore these credits?

    To the best of my knowledge imputation credits are not included in the above accumulation index.

    Haven't read up on this stuff for ages so hope the following article is still correct:

    Stock Market Indices Accumulation Indices - Loan Market

    Note with most LICs their accumulation index adjusted for franking credits will gain a boost from 100% franking unlike the ASX 200 accumulation index adjusted for franking which is NOT fully franked. Bear this in mind when comparing performance.

    Any idea if the book is worth checking out? I'm quite intrigued by the title.

    The first is likely to be very much trading focused. Followed Colin quite a bit when trading many years ago. Not my thing nowadays.

    Not sure about the second but sounds interesting. Idea, buy it and give us a summary. I told you I was lazy:D.
