It does not say VWO 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 -36.4% 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.
