Wex is a global commerce platform. Co. operates in three reportable segments: Fleet Solutions, which provides fleet vehicle payment processing, transaction processing and information management services designed for the needs of fleets of all sizes from small businesses to federal and state government fleets and over-the-road carriers; Travel and Corporate Solutions, which focuses on the payment environment of global business-to-business payments; and Health and Employee Benefit Solutions, which provides software-as-a-service platforms, bringing together benefits administration, certain compliance services and consumer-directed and benefits accounts. The WEX YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the WEX 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 WEX 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 WEX 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.
