How To Read The Table
 

Normandy Research measures the performance of Malaysian domiciled unit trust funds using the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) after taking into account splits or bonus units and assumes the re-investment of gross distribution over the said period. For example, Cumulative Performance of the 6-month period measures the difference between current NAV against the NAV 6 months ago, while Year-To-Date (YTD) return measures the difference between the current NAV against the NAV at the end of the previous year.

The 5 year Annualised Return is a fund's annual return over a 5-year period taking into account the effects of compounding.

The Sharpe Ratio measures the excess return per unit of risk undertaken and can be used to compare the performance of a fund against its peers. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance.

Ranking of Annualised Return and Sharper Ratio is only provided for funds that have a five-year history.
