iShares U.S. Utilities is an open-end management investment company.

The Underlying Index measures the performance of the utilities sector of the United States equity market. Its components primarily include utilities companies.

The yearly return on the IDU 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 IDU annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
