Tracking difference = fund total return − index total return, both in USD, 10 Nov 2011 to 25 Sept 2026. Fund = dividend-adjusted close with every distribution reinvested, after every cost inside the fund and including lending income; index = Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Total Return (total return). Negative means the fund delivered less than its index. Windows annualised; calendar years close to close. Exchange price, not net asset value, so a year-end premium or discount can move a single year by a few basis points. definition · how to read it · descriptive, not advice.
