How the Comparison Works
Total Returns
Each ticker's series is computed by reinvesting dividends (after tax and transaction costs) back into shares at the ex-dividend close price, starting from the initial investment amount.
Date Alignment
Tickers are grouped by currency. Within each group, the comparison uses the overlapping date range — from the latest start date to the earliest end date — so every ticker covers the same period. Tickers without data at the chosen start date, or whose data ends earlier than others, are excluded.
Rebasing
All series are rebased to the same initial investment value at the common start date, allowing a direct visual comparison of growth regardless of actual share prices.
Inflation Adjustment
The real (inflation-adjusted) chart deflates each series using US CPI-U for USD tickers or EU HICP for EUR tickers, showing purchasing-power returns.
Tax & Costs
The tax rate is applied to gross dividends before reinvestment. The transaction cost is deducted from the after-tax dividend amount before buying new shares. Both affect the compounding of reinvested dividends over time.
Risk Metrics
Max Drawdown measures the largest peak-to-trough decline. Sortino Ratio is annualized return divided by downside deviation (penalizes only negative volatility). Calmar Ratio is annualized return divided by max drawdown. CVaR (5%) is the average of the worst 5% of daily returns.
