VTKH doesn't have a full year of price history yet, so we can't judge its performance.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for VTKH; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.26% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
