+107.0% in total, which works out to +7.5% 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.
2018 — its calendar-year return was -12.0% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+22.4%).
-45.5%, from a peak on 2020-01-16 to a trough on 2020-03-23. From that trough it took 246 days (about 8.1 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 2.99% 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.
0.50% a year, and it is already deducted from every return figure on this page. A fund charges it inside the fund rather than billing you, which is why fee differences show up as a smaller final balance, not as a line item.
It does not say EWA 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 -45.5% 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.
