Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on TEAM alone. It places TEAM (Atlassian Corporation) against 20+ popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where TEAM stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: TEAM's full trading record, from December 2015 through September 2026. The crash tests reach back to 2000 using older funds and the S&P 500. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

- **Stock or market?:** More than an industry move: TEAM rose 129% over the past 3 months, against 15.0% for the application software ETF IGV (iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF). The S&P 500 rose 3.9%. Last month cut against the tape: TEAM rose 13.0% while the S&P 500 fell 0.6%.
- **Past 1 to 3 years:** Over the past year, TEAM rose 39.2% against 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 17.9% for the Nasdaq 100. That said, A ahead of 91% of stocks worth at least $300 million over 10 years, but behind 68% of the stocks worth at least $300 million over 3 years.

- $10,000 invested in TEAM at the end of September 2016 would have grown to $59,820 by September 2026, more than the $41,286 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.

### How closely does TEAM move with the S&P 500?

Upside capture measures how much of the S&P 500's gains an investment kept in the months the market rose, and downside capture how much of its losses it took in the months the market fell.

- Only NOW, MSFT and GOOG had a higher capture ratio (upside capture divided by downside capture) than TEAM's 0.99, out of nine popular alternatives with the same record.
- NOW took just 79% of the S&P 500's losses, against 132% for TEAM, while still keeping 114% of its gains.
- Over the past 10 years, TEAM captured 130% of the S&P 500's gains in rising months and 132% of its losses in falling months, with a beta of 1.03. It amplified the market's moves in both directions.

### What diversifies TEAM?

Correlation measures how closely two investments move together, on a scale from 1 (in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to -1 (in opposite directions).

- Moving a fifth of the money in TEAM into FIX would have cut the portfolio's volatility by 21% over the past 5 years and raised its annual return (-14.5% for TEAM alone, +6.3% for the mix).
- FIX made money in three of the three calendar years in which TEAM lost money.
- Among large ETFs, LVHI, DXJ and EMLP have moved largely independently of TEAM over the past 5 years, with correlations of -0.02 or lower, and each still earned a positive 5-year return.

## Common questions

### What was TEAM's worst drawdown?

TEAM's deepest decline since it began trading in 2015 was 87.5%, from October 2021 to April 2026. It has not yet climbed back to that peak. Because TEAM launched in December 2015, that record does not include the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis or two other sell-offs.

### What were TEAM's best and worst years?

Over ten full calendar years, TEAM's best year was 2018, when it returned 95.5%. Its worst was 2022, with a return of -66.3%.

### Is there a better investment than TEAM?

Among TEAM's popular alternatives, GOOG, MSFT and AMZN earned more than TEAM with less volatility over the past 5 years. GOOG returned 19.0% a year at 32.0% volatility, against a loss of 11.6% a year at 63.9%. Looking beyond its popular alternatives, NVDA (semiconductors) and AVGO (semiconductors) earned more than TEAM with less volatility over the past 5 years. NVDA returned 58.0% a year at 51.9% volatility, against a loss of 11.6% a year at 63.9%.

### Is TEAM more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. TEAM's volatility over the past 5 years was 63.9%, 3.7 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, TEAM's return lands within 63.9% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is TEAM's Sharpe ratio?

TEAM's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.12, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so TEAM earned less for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

### How correlated is TEAM with the S&P 500?

Over the past 5 years, TEAM's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.26 with the S&P 500. Correlation runs from 1 (moving in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to −1 (moving in opposite directions). They are only loosely linked, which makes it a real diversifier next to an index fund. In the table, the correlation column measures each option against TEAM instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a TEAM holding.

### What are the best alternatives to TEAM?

None of the 22 popular alternatives we compared outperformed TEAM in at least 3 of 5 short-term and 2 of 3 long-term timeframes, which says more about TEAM's strength than about its alternatives.

### Did TEAM outperform the S&P 500?

TEAM finished ahead of the S&P 500 (SPY) in six of ten full calendar years. In 2025, it returned -33.4%, against +17.7% for the index.

### How did TEAM do in stock market crashes?

TEAM fell less than the S&P 500 (SPY) in one of the five major crashes it has traded through, and further in four. The clearest case was the 2022 bear market, when TEAM fell 53.1% and the S&P 500 fell 24.5%.

### What diversifies TEAM?

These had a low correlation with TEAM over the past 5 years and still earned a positive 5-year return: among large ETFs, LVHI (correlation -0.17), DXJ (correlation -0.02) and EMLP (correlation -0.06); among large stocks, CAH (correlation -0.05), CLS (correlation 0.12) and FIX (correlation -0.13). A correlation near zero means the two have moved largely independently.
