Rebalancing: per the fund's prospectus summary, its index is rebalanced quarterly. 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 +174.0% in total (+10.6% a year), with a deepest drawdown of -41.8% from 2020-02-20 to 2020-03-23. Its worst calendar year was 2022 (-13.1%), its best 2019 (+25.2%).

+174.0% in total, which works out to +10.6% 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 -13.1% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+25.2%).
-41.8%, from a peak on 2020-02-20 to a trough on 2020-03-23. From that trough it took 231 days (about 7.6 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 1.32% 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 SPMD 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 -41.8% 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.
