FAQ

What does the price return mean?
Price return is the percentage change from the closing price on 2016-10-31 to the closing price on 2026-10-30. It does not include fees, taxes, or distributions.
How is CAGR calculated?
CAGR annualizes the same start and end prices over the exact length of the window (10.00 years), using (end ÷ start)^(1 ÷ years) − 1.
What is maximum drawdown?
Maximum drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough decline within this date range, measured on the same daily closing-price series used for the return. It is historical, not a limit on future losses.
Why can CAGR differ from the period return on a “1 year” page?
The page label is a nominal horizon. The calculation uses the nearest available trading days around that horizon, so the exact span can differ slightly from 365 days—and CAGR uses that exact span.
