Co.'s real estate investments include the following types of properties: skilled nursing centers, which provide restorative, rehabilitative and nursing care for people not requiring the treatment available at acute care hospitals; assisted living communities, which serve people who require assistance with activities of daily living; independent living communities, which provides a sense of community and several levels of service; and memory care communities, which provide options for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The LTC stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the LTC stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2014 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 LTC annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
