Rolling returns

Window	Avg	Median	Min	Max	% Pos	% >12
1Y	18.38	12.64	-7.85	51.43	88%	51%
3Y	21.36	20.44	9.26	31.92	100%	96%

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.
