      I entered PFF back in 2010 using an account where you could with no cost reinvest the Divvy back into the ETF.

      I felt it was safe and did it to diversify. It did not return what could have been had I been in the S&P 500.

      The account was with ScottsTrade and was purchased by TD. I lost my history and sorry to say I cannot tell you exactly my gains. It was in an IRA.

      EDIT.. I must have exited in 2017.

      Have you been pleased with your investment in PFF over the past two years? Considering on doing a long term investment soon.

      TIA
