RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Dividend ReturnsI like FIE too and have owned it on and off. But the figures posted don't tell the full story. According to Blackrock's fine print
"Total return represents changes to the NAV and accounts for distributions from the fund."
That 8%/yr return is almost 40% return of capital. DFN is 0% ROC.

DFN net rerurn / year for the last 10 years was roughly 4.5%.
Cost 2011 13$ , Yield Accumulation 12$ Today share price 8$.
Be smart buy Split on offering , selling your split holdings at good Total Net Return.
Or buy and hold FIE ETF 8% /year net return over last 10 years.
