Common questions

How much has EMLC returned over the last 10 years?

+16.0% in total, which works out to +1.5% a year over the 10 years to 2026-09-29. Both figures assume dividends were reinvested and the fund's own fees were already deducted, so they are what an investor would have kept — before tax.

What was EMLC's worst year?

2022 — its calendar-year return was -10.6% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2025 (+18.8%).

How deep was EMLC's worst drawdown?

-26.5%, from a peak on 2021-01-05 to a trough on 2022-10-24. From that trough it took 1057 days (about 34.7 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.

Does EMLC pay dividends?

Over the last 12 months it distributed 6.40% of its share price (as of 2026-09-29). That is a past distribution, not a promise of future income, and it is already counted in every return figure on this page.

What this page does not say

It does not say EMLC is a good or bad fund, and it is not a forecast. Returns above are history: they already include dividends and already exclude the fund's own fees. A drawdown of -26.5% means an investor who bought at the peak would have watched that much value disappear before it recovered — how long that takes is the part most tables leave out.
