WeeklyYield™ Actual Performance
How YTD & performance are calculated: YTD returns shown across WeeklyYield are price-only, using split-adjusted close-to-close prices from the first trading day of the calendar year to the latest close — the same method your brokerage uses. Dividends are tracked separately in the yield figures above. "Actual Non-DRIP" and "Actual DRIP" add distributions back in to show total return since the earliest price we have on record for this ETF. See full methodology →
