Performance over the common period — in euro, dividends reinvested where declared (base 100)

Note — currency risk: some of the funds compared are denominated (or hedged) in currencies other than the euro. For a euro investor, returns also depend on currency moves, up or down. Chart and performance, converted to euro at ECB rates, already include these moves: swings of a class hedged to another currency reflect FX, not strategy.

Performance and chart converted to euro at official daily ECB rates: the comparison a euro investor actually lives. Facts declared by issuers and official registers only; no recommendation. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Metrics follow the site’s public methodology; for distributing funds, performance reinvests dividends where the issuer declares the total-return series.
