Those numbers are the net asset value for a one share in the fund. But, if you reinvest the interest earned, you will automatically purchase more shares, so you will have a lot more shares over time. There may also be capital gains distributions that will increase the number of shares. The total return is calculated by the increase in your fund balance over time, assuming that you reinvest the income.
