Rolling returns

Window	Avg	Median	Min	Max	% Pos	% >12
1Y	24.18	16.57	-6.10	65.72	94%	59%
3Y	23.37	24.07	12.89	32.46	100%	100%

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.

How is this fund classified?

How often is the NAV updated?
