The Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG) share price has been a strong performer over the last five years, posting three times the gains of the broader S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).
Indeed, an $8,000 investment into the banking giant in April 2018 likely would have seen one walk away with 75 shares, having paid $105.52 apiece.
Today, that holding would be worth $13,622.25. The Macquarie share price last traded at $181.63 â 72% higher than it was five years ago.
For comparison, the ASX 200 has risen 24% in that time.
But what happens when we also factor Macquarieâs dividends into its returns? Keep reading to find out.

As readers can see, each Macquarie share has yielded $27.17 of dividends since April 2018 That means our figurative parcel has likely provided $2,037.75 of passive income over its life.
Add that to its share price gains, and our total return on investment (ROI) becomes an impressive 98%.
And thatâs before considering the potential compounding one might have realised if they reinvested their dividends, perhaps making the most of the companyâs dividend reinvestment plan (DRP).
Not to mention, all of Macquarieâs offerings over that time have been partially franked. That means some investors might have reaped further rewards come tax time.
Right now, Macquarie shares are trading with a 3.58% dividend yield.
