+194.3% in total, which works out to +14.4% a year over the 8 years to 2026-09-30. 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.
2022 — its calendar-year return was -24.0% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+33.4%).
-33.7%, from a peak on 2020-02-19 to a trough on 2020-03-23. From that trough it took 121 days (about 4.0 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 0.88% of its share price (as of 2026-09-30). That is a past distribution, not a promise of future income, and it is already counted in every return figure on this page.
It does not say ESGV 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 -33.7% 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.
