Common questions

How much has IBB returned over the last 10 years?

+127.2% in total, which works out to +8.6% 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 IBB's worst year?

2022 — its calendar-year return was -13.7% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2025 (+28.0%).

How deep was IBB's worst drawdown?

-39.8%, from a peak on 2021-08-09 to a trough on 2022-06-16. From that trough it took 1301 days (about 42.7 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.

Does IBB pay dividends?

Over the last 12 months it distributed 0.16% 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 IBB 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 -39.8% 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.
