+11.3% in total, which works out to +1.1% 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 -13.0% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+8.7%).
-18.6%, from a peak on 2020-08-04 to a trough on 2022-10-20. As of 2026-09-29 it had not climbed back to that earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 4.26% 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 SPAB 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 -18.6% 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.
