What this page does not say

It does not say FDL 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 -41.4% 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.

Run your own window, add fees or a second fund: open FDL in the tool. History is shown as history, never sold as a forecast.
