About Historical Return Data

Return data is publicly reported by fund managers to the FMA. Returns vary between funds, fund types, and time periods. This page shows return data sorted from highest to lowest 5-year average.

Important Notice

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Investment returns fluctuate and can be negative. Market conditions change, and a fund that performed well in the past may not continue to do so.

Note: If you need advice on fund selection, consult a licensed Financial Advice Provider.
