Total Return. Total return measures the increase in an investment in this fund as a percentage of that initial investment. Total return includes both income (in the form of dividends or interest payments) and capital gains or losses (the increase or decrease in the value of a security). Morningstar calculates total return by taking the change in a fund's NAV, assuming the reinvestment of all income and capital gains distributions (on the actual reinvestment date used by the fund) during the period, and then dividing by the initial NAV.



Total returns for periods of longer than one year are annualized. Total return data is updated daily, except 10-year trailing return, which is updated monthly.
