IFA.com - Should We Be Reconsidering Returns?

Mark Hebner is on a mission: Encourage Global Financial Media Companies to Report Total Return Index Values. Joining Mark in this interview is Professor Samuel Hartzmark of Boston College. Samuel, along with David Solomon, wrote a paper named Reconsidering Returns in 2017 and updated it in 2020. This paper highlights the fact that our financial media largely ignores dividends when calculating the returns often displayed on tickers for index values.
