Total returns
TSLA has outpaced TSYY over the trailing twelve months, posting a 9.44% total return against -13.01%. Measured from Dec 2024 — when the younger fund began trading — TSLA has compounded at -9.01% a year versus -21.83% for TSYY. TSYY has been the steadier holding, though — annualized volatility of 31.5% against 44.1% for TSLA. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.
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 Dec 2024” measures every fund from December 18, 2024 — 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 past year. 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 past year) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.
