What is the average annual return for TASI?
Annual returns vary significantly from year to year. Between 2016 and 2025, returns ranged from -6.5% to +29.8%. The average depends on the period studied and prevailing economic conditions. Historical averages should not be used as predictions for future performance.
Is there a correlation between oil prices and TASI performance?
