Historical Return
Since inception, the index has returned 6.12% p.a. excluding dividends and 9.08% including dividends (Dec 2020).
What about Dividends?
The All Ordinaries Index does not include dividends. The All Ordinaries Total Return Index (XAOA) includes all cash dividends reinvested on the ex-dividend date (excluding franking credits). This accumulation index is typically only used as a comparison tool for long-term investment returns and therefore not widely quoted on a daily basis.
