HIPS returns by period
Total return assumes every dividend is reinvested at the closing price on its ex-dividend date. Price return is the change in the closing price alone. The 3 and 5 year rows also show the yearly rate (CAGR).
| Period | Since | Total return | Price return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | -4.81% | -4.81% | |
| 3 months | -7.26% | -8.96% | |
| 6 months | -7.89% | -12.05% | |
| Year to date | -3.23% | -10.10% | |
| 1 year | -0.94% | -10.49% | |
| 3 years | +23.05% (+7.16%/yr) | -9.56% (-3.29%/yr) | |
| 5 years | +15.98% (+2.85%/yr) | -31.24% (-6.85%/yr) |
Did HIPS's payouts keep up with its price?
Over the past year HIPS paid out 10.13% of its starting price in distributions, while its price changed -10.49%. Reinvesting every payment gave a total return of -0.94%. The distributions did not make up for the fall in price, so a holder ended the year with less than they started with, even counting every payment.
Option income funds pay out option premiums and often part of their own assets, so a high yield can come with a falling share price. Total return is the fair measure: it counts both the payouts and the price change. Compare all option income ETFs.

About these numbers
- Calculated by FindETFStock from daily closing prices and ex-dividend amounts reported by Yahoo Finance, starting July 16, 2021.
- Total assets are the fund's net assets as reported by Yahoo Finance; for a fund with several share classes, such as Vanguard's, the figure covers the whole fund. Trading volume is the 3-month average of shares traded per day, times the latest price.
- "5 years" is measured from the first stored close, about five years back; a fund or stock with a shorter history shows "Since first close" instead.
- Returns are before taxes and assume dividends are reinvested at the ex-date close with no costs.
- Past performance does not predict future results. This is not investment advice; see the financial disclaimer and methodology.
