S&P 500’s Slimmer Dividend Yield Could Leave Less Money On The Table For Stock Investors

FYI: Stock investors might be interested to know what portion of the U.S. market’s long-term return is attributable to dividends, as opposed to price appreciation. The answer: 50.8%. Since 1871, the S&P 500’s total return has been 8.89% on an annualized basis, versus 4.37% on a price-only basis.
