Fidus Investment operates as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified business development company. Co.'s investment objective is to provide risk-adjusted returns by generating both current income from its debt investments and capital appreciation from its equity related investments. The FDUS stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the FDUS stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2017 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the FDUS annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
