Each fund's rate of return (how much did the fund grow or lose during the period) is calculated as a percentage of the starting amount. For example if on January 1st your account had $100 in it and at the end of the year it had $110, then your account would have grown by $10 which is 10% of the original amount.
Returns are shown gross (before) fees. Past performance of a fund is not necessarily indicative of future performance. 1 year, 3 year, 4 year, 10 year increments of return show the average annual returns for the indicated period. There is no 10 year history for the funds with 'n/a' indicated.
The 'Index' percentage is the market benchmark for the funds (where available).
