​​

PI 10 Yr: Prevailing Return Index

• For the Last 10 Years.

• Each fund  has to have a minimum of 10 years return to be on this index

​

PI Rew to Risk: Prevailing Return Index .

• Returns are for the lifetime of the fund.

• Each fund has to have a minimum of 10 years return to be on this index.

• Funds with different length track records are included in the same ranking.

 

10 Yr Rew to Risk : Prevailing Return Index.

• Returns are For the Last 10 Years.

• Maximum drawdown, however in this formula is for the lifetime of the fund even if it exceeds 10 years.

CAGR: Compounded Annual Growth Rate

• This is often referred to Annualized Return or Average Return.

• This is often referred to Annualized Return or Average Return.

​​

3 Yr CAGR: 3 Year Compounded Annual Growth Rate
