Why are rolling returns better than trailing returns?

Trailing returns only show performance as of a single point in time (today). Rolling returns show performance across hundreds of different start dates, giving a much clearer picture of a fund's actual reliability.

What does a high median rolling return indicate?

A high median rolling return suggests that the fund has consistently delivered strong performance regardless of when an investor started their journey.

How do rolling returns help in risk assessment?

By looking at the minimum rolling return, you can understand the worst-case scenario an investor could have faced over a specific time horizon, which is a key metric for risk management.

Quick Summary: Rolling Returns Solver

Rolling returns measure the average annualized return of an investment over multiple overlapping windows (e.g., every possible 3-year period). This is the best way to evaluate a fund manager's consistency, as it eliminates the 'luck' of a specific start date and shows how the fund performed across bull, bear, and sideways market cycles.
