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+6.09%+12.55%+10.68%
Year to date+7.12%+9.60%+8.40%
1 year+5.28%+5.28%+7.52%
2 years+11.26%+5.48%+7.57%
3 years+4.86%+1.59%+5.79%
5 years+5.86%+1.14%+3.02%
Max (8.5 yrs)+24.40%+2.63%+3.95%

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

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+5.25%+3.22%+53.47%-30.29%90
3 years+1.60%+3.01%+19.02%-3.41%66

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:

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.
