Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date, split-adjusted, as of June 23, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative; longer windows are annualized. “Since Nov 2025” measures every fund from November 4, 2025 — the youngest fund's first trading day — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the shared window since Nov 2025. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the shared window since Nov 2025) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.
