Rolling returns
| Window | Avg | Median | Min | Max | % Pos | % >12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Y | 16.85 | 8.27 | -4.70 | 46.02 | 93% | 40% |

Each row takes every possible start date in the fund's history and computes the annualised return (CAGR) over that window. Avg/Median = the typical outcome; Min/Max = worst and best; % Pos = how often the window ended positive; % >12 = how often it beat 12% a year. Higher consistency means timing mattered less.
