| About SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust |
| SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust is a unit investment trust. Co. provides investors with the opportunity to purchase a security representing a proportionate undivided interest in a portfolio of securities consisting of all of the component common stocks, in the same weighting, which comprise the Standard & Poor's 500® Index. The SPY stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the SPY stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site, is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2021 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 SPY annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates). |
