Price return counts only the change in share price; total return adds reinvested dividends. Over its full history JEPQ's total return of about 16.0% annually is higher than its price-only return of roughly 3.8%, because reinvested distributions compound over time. Total return is the number that reflects what an investor actually earned, which is why it is shown as the headline figure on this page.
