Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
The “cumulative” calculation shows returns on a price basis (i.e. excluding dividends). If an instrument trades in a different currency from your home currency, currency fluctuations may affect returns. These instruments are traded in different currencies, and performance is shown in the instruments' trading currencies
