Category average across 33 funds, as of 20 Aug 2026. Short windows are noise; the 3 and 5-year rows are the record. Past returns do not predict future returns.
A single return number depends on its start date. These are ALL the overlapping holding periods, so the worst case is visible — read that number first.

Rows marked derivative are futures positions held against the shares listed beside them. A stock and its future largely cancel, so do not add the two together. Exposure figures are gross: funds that use derivatives (arbitrage, hedged books) hold offsetting positions, so concentration and turnover can read above 100%.
