+238.55% in total, which works out to +12.97% a year over the 10 years to 2026-10-02. 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 -9.80% (net of fees, dividends reinvested). Its best year was 2019 (+29.68%).
-31.70%, from a peak on 2020-02-14 to a trough on 2020-03-23. From that trough it took 156 days (about 5.1 months) to climb back to the earlier peak.
Over the last 12 months it distributed 1.53% of its share price (as of 2026-10-02). 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 VDADX 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 -31.70% 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.
