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 -25.4% in total (-2.9% a year), with a deepest drawdown of -80.9% from 2021-02-17 to 2022-10-24. Its worst calendar year was 2021 (-48.9%), its best 2017 (+69.7%).

-25.4% in total, which works out to -2.9% 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.
2021 — its calendar-year return was -48.9% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2017 (+69.7%).
-80.9%, from a peak on 2021-02-17 to a trough on 2022-10-24. As of 2026-09-29 it had not climbed back to that earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 8.60% 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 KWEB 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 -80.9% 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.
