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+11.31%+23.89%+16.86%
Year to date+6.47%+8.72%+11.58%
1 year+8.04%+8.04%+10.30%
2 years+21.19%+10.09%+11.49%
3 years+18.41%+5.79%+9.73%
5 years+9.48%+1.83%+6.05%
Max (9.9 yrs)+105.15%+7.58%+6.71%

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 8%/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+8.06%+2.12%+55.45%-14.37%107
3 years+5.79%+4.89%+18.23%-5.59%83

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:

5.9%Downside deviation
-13%Worst drop
68%Positive 12-mo windows
11.4%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.
