The Guggenheim Shipping ETF, NYSE Arca ticker: SEA (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund's fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Dow Jones Global Shipping IndexSM (the “Index”). The Index is designed to measure the performance of high-dividend paying companies in the global shipping industry. The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock, American Depositary Receipts (ADR), Global Depositary Receipts (GDR) and master limited partnerships. As of May 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $86,275,310 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $85,456,808. The SEA average annual return since 2022 is shown above.
The Average Annual Return on the SEA average annual return since 2022 page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annualized return over the past ten years (or specified start date) for a given investment
(up to the end of prior trading session recorded). Arguably, choosing ten years for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand provides a sufficiently long window
to capture long-term trends.
Thus, researching Average Annual Returns is good practice for investors — whether SEA average annual return since 2022 or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annualized return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the SEA average annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
