*Annualised returns are calculated based on the returns of the target share class, and the oldest share class of the fund where the target share class is younger than three years. Three-year returns are based on the period from December 2021 to November 2024 unless otherwise stated. Returns are translated into SGD (except for non-SGD funds) and are net of fund-level fees. 

Where a fund or portfolio has both SGD and USD share classes, the fees of the SGD share class are shown. Total portfolio and fund-level fees include fund total fund-level fees.

Endowus does not charge a preliminary sales charge or any other additional fees, other than the all-in Endowus Fee.
