A high one-year figure is a fact about a period that has already closed, not a forecast. It is most useful for deciding which funds are worth reading about properly.
Common questions
How often is this report produced?
Once a week, generated automatically from the same NAV history behind the rest of the site. Nothing in it is written by hand.
Why one-year returns rather than a longer window?
One year is short enough for week-to-week changes to show, and every fund in this report has at least that much history, so the whole list ranks together. The ranking over the longest window every tracked fund shares is in the best-performing funds post, and longer windows are on each fund's own page.
Do the rankings include dividends?
Yes, reinvested, which is the default basis across the site.
