Total return includes distributions, from end-of-day prices adjusted for splits and distributions, to 22 Oct 2026. Periods of 3 years and longer are annualised and shown only when the fund's history is long enough. Volatility is the standard deviation of daily returns over the last year, annualised. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Cost: expense ratio

We could not match an expense ratio for PSQ in the SEC prospectus data we read. Funds structured as trusts or notes, and very new funds, are often missing. We show nothing rather than a guess; the issuer's fact sheet has the figure.
