Both DPS and HCP were bought on financial data. DPS had a very good dividend growth rate, while HCP had a low debt to equity ratio for a REIT.
The reason for the weighting difference between DPS and KO is due my changing the classification of soft drink companies between the purchases. I was classifying these companies as consumer staples (6%weighting), but changed the classification to basic industry (4% weighting). The reason was that consumers will reduce their purchases of soft drinks, either for economic or health reasons.
