+25.4% in total, which works out to +2.3% 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 -14.0% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+14.1%).
-20.6%, from a peak on 2021-08-02 to a trough on 2022-10-20. From that trough it took 1013 days (about 33.3 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 5.07% 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.
0.05% 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.
It does not say VCIT 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 -20.6% 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.
