What this return means

A $1,000 stake in Dow Jones (DIA) from 2023 sits at $1,583 today. The total return is +58.3% over 3.5 years, as of 2026-06-01.

That is about 14% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. Because this is a broad S&P 500 fund, it is the benchmark here rather than something measured against it.

Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2025 at +18.8%, and the worst was 2024 at +14.1%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
