Rebalancing: per the fund's prospectus summary, its index is rebalanced monthly. 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 6.3 years to 2026-09-29 the fund returned +20.5% in total (+3.0% a year), with a deepest drawdown of -0.0% from 2022-08-22 to 2022-08-23. Its worst calendar year was 2021 (+0.0%), its best 2024 (+5.3%).

+20.5% in total, which works out to +3.0% a year over the 6 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 +0.0% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2024 (+5.3%).
-0.0%, from a peak on 2022-08-22 to a trough on 2022-08-23. From that trough it took 2 days (about 0.1 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 3.69% 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 SGOV 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 -0.0% 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.
