What is a rolling return?

A rolling return measures what you would actually have earned by investing on any given day and holding for a fixed number of years. Instead of quoting one figure from a single convenient start date, it repeats that calculation for every start date in the fund's history — 2,138 separate five-year windows for this fund. The gap between the best and the worst of those windows shows how much your entry date mattered.

Direct vs Regular plan

The same fund and the same portfolio. The Regular plan pays a commission to the distributor who sold it, which comes out of the NAV every year, so its returns run lower. Figures below are 5-year rolling returns over the period both plans share. Over this history the Direct plan averaged 1.20% a year more than Regular.

This fund's Regular plan has NAV going back to 19 October 2007, but its Direct plan only began on 3 January 2013. The 1,251 earlier Regular records are excluded here so both plans are measured over the same stretch of market history.
