Maximum drawdown is the largest fall from a peak to the following trough before a new peak is set. Recovery is arithmetic: a fall of d requires a gain of d ÷ (1 − d) to break even. The comparison is the fund's official benchmark, the ASISA South African Multi-Asset Low Equity category average, measured over exactly the same months. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

Volatility is annualised standard deviation. Return per unit of volatility is the annualised return over the period shown divided by volatility; it is not a Sharpe ratio, as no risk-free rate is deducted. Calmar ratio is that same annualised return divided by the deepest fall. The fund and its benchmark are measured over exactly the same months. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
