Rebalancing: per the fund's prospectus summary, its index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted semi-annually. That schedule is set by the index provider, not by a view on where the market is going — and it says nothing about how often you should rebalance a portfolio; that side is covered in how often index funds rebalance.
Over the 10.0 years to 2026-09-29 the fund returned +405.5% in total (+17.6% a year), with a deepest drawdown of -40.6% from 2020-02-20 to 2020-03-18. Its worst calendar year was 2018 (-22.7%), its best 2020 (+48.8%).

It does not say GRID 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 -40.6% 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.
