Since SPY is one tenth of SPX (and manages to keep this ratio, because fees are subtracted from the dividends so the principal follows the index), you can look at SPY minus SPX/10 on Tradingview to get a nice visualization :) This link should work: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=AMEX%3ASPY-SP%3ASPX%2F10 As you can see, the price drops after each dividend and then gradually catches up again. Keep in mind, SPX is not a total return index; this means it only tracks the stock prices and dividends are not included. As such holding SPY will outperform SPX (due to dividends), but the price of SPY will track SPX/10. Compare this with SPXTR (total return, so price + dividend performance) and you'll see SPXTR gradually outperforming SPX. Here's a graph of their ratio: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=AMEX%3ASPY-SP%3ASPX%2F10 EDIT: so to be clear, the price of SPY outperforms SPX between dividends so no dividend arbitrage can be done; when the dividend is paid, the price drops again. Rinse and repeat. More on reddit.com
