Quick concept check..

Im running a regression of individual returns vs SP500 returns. SP returns are not adjusted for dividends so to get the actual returns each period ill need to add them in. So the info I was told to use was a 2.01% div yield for each year in the period. I then figured out the monthly div yield (2.01% ^ 1/12) and added that to the capital gains of the SP500 every month to get my total SP500 return.
