Difference in past performance?

I was looking at Vanguard ETFs, and realised the past performance indicator was different on the KIID and on the main presentation page.

​

Why do the graphs look that different (here on the FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF)

​

Main page +1.3% in 2018

KIID -10.5% in 2018

​

I'm obviously missing something, but can't figure it out?

​

Thanks!

Can’t see +1.3% anywhere. Is it possible the data you were looking at was to 28 Feb 19?

Yes, the one from 1st March 18 to 28 Feb 19. Can you not compare those?

No they’re different time periods

So the one starting on the 1st jan 18 goes down by 10%, and the other figure, only because it starts on the 1st March 18, so only 2 months later, is up by 1.3% ? Is that what you're saying?

Yes. Starts two months later and ends two months later. 2019 has been a bumper year for equities so far
