Simulated series for illustration: each fund follows a seeded path with volatility and drift typical of its theme, sharing one market factor so related funds move together. Figures are approximate and not a record of real prices or past performance. Volatility is annualised from daily returns; drawdown is the worst peak-to-trough fall inside the window.
