How it has done
CSFAX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 15.62%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 5 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.19% | +12.65% | +32.98% | +8.66% | -13.76% | |
| 1.84% | +11.94% | +30.41% | +5.16% | -13.91% | |
| 0.90% | +12.99% | +34.18% | +10.28% | -13.70% | |
| 1.34% | +12.50% | +32.39% | +7.87% | -13.80% | |
| 0.84% | +13.04% | +34.37% | +10.58% | -13.68% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.42pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.08pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
