Rolling returns

Window	Avg	Median	Min	Max	% Pos	% >12
1Y	5.80	6.92	-4.56	12.64	90%	1%
3Y	5.89	5.97	4.33	7.81	100%	0%

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.
