Growth of $10,000 over the past 10 yearsDividends reinvested

What this shows. How $10,000 would have grown over the past ~10 years in each fund, based on its historical returns and rescaled so every fund starts at $10,000. It is backward-looking - a record of what already happened, not a forecast of future returns and not a forward projection. The dips are real drawdowns along the way; the Max drawdown row above is the single deepest peak-to-trough fall over the period (e.g. −33% means the balance fell to about $6,700 from its prior high before recovering). Dividends reinvested, before tax; representative for the built-in names and computed from actual history for any ticker you add.

Every instrument is computed live from its actual dividend-adjusted price history: price, trailing and since-inception returns, max drawdown, beta, Sharpe, a growth-of-$10k path, and dividend yield from the real distributions paid over the last 12 months. All returns are total returns - dividends and distributions reinvested - which is why a fund that pays large cash distributions (a managed-futures ETF, say) can far outrun its own price chart. Fund-only fields such as expense ratio show for ETFs. "Best" highlights the most favourable value in each row across the selected instruments (lowest fee; highest return, yield or Sharpe; smallest drawdown). Growth of $10,000 is a hypothetical illustration, before tax - not a live execution quote, so verify numbers with your broker before trading.

About this tool

Put two to four ETFs or stocks side by side: expense ratio, assets, returns over 1, 3, 5 and 10 years, dividend yield, beta, Sharpe and maximum drawdown, with the best value in each row highlighted and a growth-of-$10,000 chart drawn from real history.

For long-term fund choices, weight the boring rows: the expense ratio is the only number in the table that is guaranteed to repeat next year, and drawdown tells you what holding each fund actually felt like. Trailing returns are the least reliable row precisely because they are the one everyone shops on.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose between two similar ETFs?

When the underlying exposure is the same, cost wins: lower expense ratio, tighter spreads, larger assets. Ties in exposure are broken by pennies, which is why the fee row is highlighted.

What is beta?

Sensitivity to the overall market: a beta of 1.2 tends to move 12% when the market moves 10%, in both directions. It is a quick read on how much market risk a holding adds.
