  CEF called the  Columbia Seligman Premium Technology Growth Fund (STK). STK Romps to a Triple-Digit Return STK's portfolio mainly consists of large-cap tech stocks:  Apple (AAPL),  chipmaker  Broadcom (AVGO)  and  Microsoft (MSFT)  are among its top holdings. The fund boasts a dividend just shy of 7% today. As you can see in the chart above, it's returned hundreds of percent since inception nearly 14 years ago. If we average this out to its CAGR (compound annualized growth rate, or simply the average percent return per year), we see that the fund has delivered an incredible 20% per year on average. Here's the thing, though-most people have no idea of STK's incredible performance! Dial it up on a free stock-screening tool like Google Finance and you get this chart, showing a meager 35% return in nearly a decade and a half!   Source: Google Finance Price-Only Return and Total Return-Quite the Difference!
