ArrowMark Financial is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Co.'s investment objective is to provide stockholders with existing income, and to a lesser extent capital appreciation. Co. invests in preferred equity, subordinated debt, convertible securities and, to a lesser extent, common equity primarily in the United States community bank sector. Co. may also invest in similar securities of larger United States domiciled banks and companies that provide goods and/or services to banking companies. The BANX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the BANX YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether BANX YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the BANX YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
