Question 1

What are rolling returns?

Accepted Answer

Rolling returns measure a fund's return for every possible entry date across its history, instead of a single start-to-end period. This reveals how consistent a fund really is, because it shows the best case, worst case and typical outcome no matter when you invested.

Question 2

Why are point-to-point returns misleading?

Accepted Answer

Point-to-point returns depend entirely on the start and end dates chosen. A fund can look excellent over one 5-year window and poor over another that starts a year later. Rolling returns remove this cherry-picking by averaging across all entry dates.
