$23.84 divide by 11 years = 1.60% average

Dow Jones is an index that shows how 30 large, pub­licly owned com­pa­nies based in the United States have traded dur­ing a stan­dard trad­ing ses­sion in the stock market.

But the ques­tion is, were the com­pa­nies you’re invested in per­form­ing at this same level or not? The aver­age is price-weighted, and to com­pen­sate for the effects of stock splits and other adjust­ments, it is cur­rently a scaled average.

The value of the Dow is not the actual aver­age of the prices of its com­po­nent stocks, but rather the sum of the com­po­nent prices divided by a divi­sor, which changes when­ever one of the com­po­nent stocks has a stock split or stock div­i­dend, so as to gen­er­ate a con­sis­tent value for the index.
