Method: split-adjusted daily closes from Massive; each ex-dividend cash amount is reinvested at that day's close (Drip On) or ignored (Drip Off — price only). Values are deflated by the monthly CPI-U index so every point is in the latest month's dollars. Funds younger than the window start at $10,000 on their first trading day.
