| About PowerShares Exchange Traded Self Indexed Fund Trust - Defensive Equity Portfolio |
| Guggenheim Defensive Equity is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results, which correspond to the performance, before the Fund's fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Sabrient Defensive Equity Index (the Index). The Index is consisted of approximately 100 securities selected, based on investment and other criteria developed by Sabrient Systems LLC, from a universe of the United States-traded securities, including master limited partnerships and American depositary receipts. As of Aug 31 2015, the Fund's total assets were $213,567,581 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $212,742,917. The BSCR YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the BSCR 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 BSCR 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 BSCR 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. |
