Returns are from NAVs (after expenses, before tax); 3Y and 5Y are annualised. Rolling figures use every business-day start date in the scheme's history; beat-rate is the share of 3-year windows ahead of a benchmark — not available for this category in MFIC's free data. Std dev is annualised over 36 months. "n/a" means the scheme's history is too short or the data is still loading. Listed alphabetically; no order of preference is implied.
