Historical returns

Total return reinvests every dividend. “Per year” is the annualized compound rate. The last column is the return on a fixed amount invested every month (SIP).

Return period Total return Per year Monthly SIP /yr
6 months+13.94%+29.83%+21.20%
Year to date+16.32%+22.33%+18.04%
1 year+16.96%+16.96%+18.30%
2 years+35.28%+16.31%+18.79%
3 years+47.62%+13.86%+17.18%
Max (5.0 yrs)+52.02%+8.89%+12.40%

Bars in each column are relative to the largest figure in that column, not a 0 to 100% scale.

Figures as of 3 Sep 2026 Total return includes the fund’s cash dividends (about 3.5%/yr), reinvested by default.

Rolling returns & path risk

A single look-back can flatter or punish a start date. These figures walk the whole history.

Rolling window Latest Median Best Worst Windows
1 year+16.92%+8.51%+30.57%-23.06%48
3 years+13.85%+9.88%+14.21%-4.71%24

Each window is annualized total return (dividends reinvested). Latest is the most recent closed window; median / best / worst summarize every overlapping window of that length. Tap ? on a column header for a short tip.

Path risk over the same fixed 3-year window as the rating:

6.4%Downside deviation
-10%Worst drop
100%Positive 12-mo windows
12.4%Volatility (ann.)

Downside deviation only counts losing months. Worst drop is the deepest peak-to-trough fall inside the window. These are measured facts from the NAV series; the star composite that uses them stays experimental.
