How it has done
VTWO share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 14.93%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
The 2 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.05% | +43.18% | +74.19% | +38.10% | -18.87% | |
| 0.06% | +43.18% | +74.12% | +38.01% | -18.87% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.09pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.02pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
