FLTW (: +20.5% a year) sits at the top of this table and FLRT (+4.8% a year) at the bottom. The order is arithmetic over past data — it is not a judgement about which fund is better, and past performance does not predict future results.

Which of them fell the furthest?

FundDeepest dropPeak → trough
COLO-62.8%2018-04-18 → 2020-03-23
ARGT-61.7%2018-01-26 → 2020-03-23
EPOL-61.4%2018-01-24 → 2022-10-12
GREK-57.0%2018-01-24 → 2020-03-18
SLVP-56.2%2021-01-06 → 2022-09-27

The deepest fall in this group was COLO, down -62.8% from 2018-04-18 to 2020-03-23. It sits at position 64 in the return table — a reminder that the two questions "what did it return" and "how bad did it get" have different answers.

What do these funds cost?

Expense ratios in this group run from 0.05% to 0.60% a year (median 0.15%). Fees are already deducted from every return above — a fund does not have to be expensive to be interesting, and a cheap one is not automatically better.

How to read this table

  • Return a year — annualised (CAGR) return over the window; Total return is the cumulative figure.
  • Sharpe — return per unit of volatility, with the risk-free rate taken as zero.
  • Worst drop — the deepest peak-to-trough fall in the window, with the dates it happened.
  • Years — how much history that fund actually has; funds with shorter histories use what exists.
  • Method and definitions: guides. Interactive version: the ranking tool.

What this page is not

It is not investment advice, not a suggestion of what to buy, and not a forecast. A fund appears here because it is in our pool, and the ordering is arithmetic. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
