Common questions

How much has IWO returned over the last 10 years?

+158.8% in total, which works out to +10.0% 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 IWO's worst year?

2022 — its calendar-year return was -26.3% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2020 (+34.7%).

How deep was IWO's worst drawdown?

-42.0%, from a peak on 2021-02-09 to a trough on 2022-06-16. From that trough it took 1208 days (about 39.7 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.

Does IWO pay dividends?

Over the last 12 months it distributed 0.47% 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 is IWO's expense ratio?

0.24% 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.

What this page does not say

It does not say IWO 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 -42.0% 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 IWO in the tool. History is shown as history, never sold as a forecast.
