Price returns only, computed from 4031 daily closes — before commissions, spreads and tax, and excluding any distributions, so a fund that pays income has earned more than these figures show. Annualised figures appear only for windows longer than about 13 months. This fund has a share split on record; figures are computed from unadjusted closes and should be re-verified. These are not the fund's official NAV-based returns — see the issuer's fact sheet for those.
Trading & Market Data
REMX is trading near the bottom of its 52-week range. A high reading is not a sell signal and a low one is not a bargain — it only says where the last year's prices sit relative to today.
What the Expense Ratio Costs
REMX charges 0.57% a year. Deducted daily from net asset value, never billed separately, so it is easy to miss. On a flat $10,000 position — holding the price steady to isolate the fee from the returns — it compounds to:
An illustration, not a projection: in reality the fee is charged against a balance that moves, so the dollar cost rises with a fund that grows and falls with one that shrinks. It also excludes bid-ask spread, brokerage commission and — for funds structured as commodity pools or partnerships — any additional filing complexity.

How large is REMX?

Is REMX right for me?
That depends on what the rest of your portfolio already holds, not on this fund's recent returns. Nothing on this page is a recommendation — check the issuer's prospectus and, if it matters to your taxes or retirement, a licensed adviser.
