Every trading day in the history is treated as a potential window end-date; the fund's CAGR over the trailing 3 (or 5) years ending that day is computed, and the full distribution is summarised. A narrower band + higher "positive windows" percentage means more predictable outcomes — reduces the timing luck a single point-in-time CAGR can hide.
