Rolling returns

Removes start-date bias by averaging CAGR over every overlapping N-year window in the fund's history. Higher average plus tight min/max plus high "% positive" = consistent.

1-Year rolling

Limited basis — fund is young, so this average may be skewed by which 1Y windows happen to be available.

3-Year rolling
