Frequently asked questions
What if I had invested $1,000 in Xiaomi in 2020?
Invested in January 2020, $1,000 would be worth about $2,540 today, +14.8% a year on average.
What was the best year to invest in Xiaomi?
Among the start years covered, 2020 gave the best result: $1,000 would have become $2,540. The weakest was 2025, worth $788 today. This ranking is only known with hindsight.
Are dividends included?
By default, the calculation follows the market price only. The "Reinvest dividends" option uses the adjusted price, which includes dividends paid and stock splits: the closest measure of what an investor actually earned.
Are exchange rates taken into account?
Yes. Xiaomi trades in its own currency; every purchase and valuation is converted at that month's exchange rate. A US asset can gain in dollars and less in euros if the dollar weakened.
Are fees and taxes included?
No: results are before brokerage fees, fund fees and taxes. Your net result depends on the account you invest through.
