Here's How Much $100 Invested In Apollo Global Management 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Apollo Global Management APO has outperformed the market over the past 90 days by 31.71%, generating a 34.53% return for its investors over the time period. Now, given this information, it may seem like price appreciation alone is the best way to have made money on this stock, that's not actually the case.

This is because Apollo Global Management has been paying out a regular cash dividend every year over the past 5 years. Investors who fail to account for dividends are missing a key ingredient in calculating a stock's profitability over time.
