| Line | Return | Annualised volatility | Maximum drawdown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth | +62.85% | 20.14% | -7.61% |
| GT — Equal | +29.10% | 24.96% | -12.97% |
| S&P 500 (SPY) | +12.91% | 13.29% | -9.13% |
| Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) | +21.43% | 20.80% | -11.83% |
Every line starts on the Book's first day in the window. The Growth, Moderate and Conservative Books are net of modelled trading costs; GT — Equal, the weekly benchmark engine, is gross of costs; the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 are price return (SPY, QQQ), so index dividends are left out. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
How these figures are computed
- Return: the change from the first daily value in the window to the last.
- Annualised volatility: daily returns are computed from the same daily curve; their sample standard deviation is multiplied by √252, the number of trading days in a year.
- Maximum drawdown: the largest fall from a running peak to a later trough on the same curve.
- A day without a value is skipped, never filled, and a figure that cannot be measured is shown as a dash.
