German American Bancorp is a financial holding company. Through its banking subsidiaries, Co. operates the following business segments are: core banking, which involves accepting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial and agricultural, commercial and agricultural real estate, and residential mortgage loans; wealth management services, which involves providing trust, investment advisory, brokerage and retirement planning services; and insurance operations, which provides a range of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products, primarily in Co.'s banking subsidiary's local markets. The GABC YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the GABC 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 GABC 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 GABC 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.
