About these numbers
- Calculated by FindETFStock from daily closing prices and ex-dividend amounts reported by Yahoo Finance, starting July 16, 2021.
- "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.
