How it has done
VEU share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 14.64%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are 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 4 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.04% | +32.84% | +75.93% | +53.50% | -10.69% | |
| 0.05% | +32.83% | +75.87% | +53.41% | -10.69% | |
| 0.03% | +32.85% | +75.97% | +53.56% | -10.69% | |
| 0.08% | +32.77% | +75.71% | +53.18% | -10.72% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.38pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.08pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
