Rebalancing: per the fund's prospectus summary, its index is rebalanced 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 +147.7% in total (+9.5% a year), with a deepest drawdown of -32.2% from 2020-01-17 to 2020-03-23. Its worst calendar year was 2022 (-15.2%), its best 2019 (+28.2%).

+147.7% in total, which works out to +9.5% 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.
2022 — its calendar-year return was -15.2% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+28.2%).
-32.2%, from a peak on 2020-01-17 to a trough on 2020-03-23. From that trough it took 203 days (about 6.7 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 2.40% 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.
It does not say IQLT 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 -32.2% 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.
