Dear sirs, I have a question regarding the hypothetical growth of Vanguard's EDV Fund: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0930&FundIntExt=INT Please see the hypothetical growth graph shows new highs in the past year. But looking at stock chart http://www.google.com/finance?q=edv, the late 2008 highs were never neared. What is the reason for this?
reinvested dividends? they paid plenty of them. at least according to yahoo. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=EDV&a=0&b=29&c=2008&d=4&e=5&f=2012&g=d&z=66&y=594 here is one- Dec 22, 2009 12.281 Dividend and around 0.8 -0.9 every quarter.
