Read it right

How to use these numbers

  • Compare returns within the same category (Credit Risk) — comparing a credit risk fund to a different mandate isn't like-for-like.
  • Weight the longest period you can. One strong year can flatter a fund; three- and five-year figures show more.
  • The growth curve and calendar-year rows are the same NAV history, read two ways — a smooth trailing view and the year-by-year swings behind it.
  • These are facts, not a recommendation. Nothing here says buy, hold or sell Principal Credit Risk Fund.
