Working with the Poland 20 (WIG20) series
The WIG20 is a price index — Warsaw publishes a separate total-return variant (WIG20TR), and the dividend gap between them is unusually wide because Polish blue chips (banks, insurers, state-controlled energy) are heavy payers. Long-horizon returns computed from this series therefore understate Polish equity performance by more than the analogous error in most markets. State-controlled companies form a large index share, adding a political-decision factor Western benchmarks lack. Series from end-2017.
