Dividend ETFs often show price drops on charts when they pay dividends, but these charts omit the cash dividends investors receive. This can mislead income investors who focus only on price charts, as total return—which includes reinvested dividends—better reflects actual earnings. For funds like Invesco SPHD and iShares DVY, total return figures found in fund prospectuses or official pages provide a more accurate performance measure. Investors should check for 'total return' labels and dividend reinvestment assumptions to understand the full value of their income funds.
