I wasn't even aware that data on google finance and others don't include these when making comparisons.<br /><br />Could you maybe do a comparison of total return for XIU and a few of the dividend ETF's, and maybe some other assets like REIT's?<br /><br />When I compare XIU to a dividend ETF on googlefinance the prices aren't that different, but I have no good way of seeing the total return. obviously the higher yield has a positive effect but I have no way of knowing how much.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751610667110065763.post-44093739607852453232011-07-17T14:43:29.942-04:002011-07-17T14:43:29.942-04:00Complex Post.

I meant to refer to what you compare your own performance to. The way it works is this: let's say the price index (excl dividends) gains 6% but the total return (incl 2% dividends) is 8%. If your overall portfolio increase, which will include both the price gain and the new cash from dividends received in you account, is 7%, you will mistakenly think you outperformed if you compare only to the commonly available TSX, Dow Jones, S&P500 or other price index.CanadianInvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645767559302303541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751610667110065763.post-64008330062285891062010-03-18T07:24:08.591-04:002010-03-18T07:24:08.591-04:00> Second, using the better-known Index Price pe...> Second, using the better-known Index Price performance instead of Total Return to benchmark your own portfolio results will lead you to over-estimate your true success. <br /><br />I'm not sure that I understand it. <br />When dividends are included total return has to outperform Price return, i.e. the other way around?Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481876214178957514noreply@blogger.com
