Vertex, Inc. is a global provider of indirect tax solutions. Co. operates as a solution provider of state, local and value-added tax calculation, compliance and analytics, offering software products which are sold through software license and software as a service (cloud) subscription. It also provides implementation and training services in connection with its software license and cloud subscriptions, transaction tax returns outsourcing and other tax-related services. The VERX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the VERX 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 VERX 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 VERX 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.
