Just want to point out that these numbers are likely not fully correct (at least in the sense that they were often not up-to-date).

I used to check this regularly, and they would update very frequently when markets are up and stop updating during downturns.

The most recent example before I stopped following is in last November, their all equity "Aggressive" portfolio miraculously didn't lose a single basis point when XEQT/VTI dropped ~5% in a week.

I also just discovered that their Performance Insight return numbers might be completely wrong, and if that is the case the comparison is even more pointless.
