The index referred to as the IPD 'Annual Index' is the Investment Property Databank All Property (Standing Investments excluding Active Management) Annual Total Return Index. The IPD Annual Capital Growth Index is a component of the Annual Index and both are calculated by IPD from information held in its annual database which at 31st December 2003 contained information relating to individual properties having an aggregate value of approximately £105.1bn. 2. IPD compiles monthly indices as proxies for the Annual Index (the 'Monthly Proxy Index') and for the Annual Capital Growth Index (the 'Monthly Proxy Capital Growth Index') for the preceding month. The Monthly Proxy Index and the Monthly Proxy Capital Growth Index are estimated by reference to information contained in the monthly database, which at the end of December 2003 contained information relating to individual properties having an aggregate value of approximately £17.4bn. As these indices are intended to be proxies for the Annual Index and the Annual Capital Growth Index, the constituent information is re-weighted by sector, property type and region to reflect the portfolio of properties used in the calculation of the Annual Index and the Annual Capital Growth Index.
