What does 'consistent performance' mean in mutual fund evaluation and why is it preferred over occasional exceptional performance?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Consistent performance — outperforming the benchmark in most 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year rolling periods — is more valuable than one exceptional period. A fund that generated 50% in one year but underperformed in most other years may have just been lucky with market timing. Rolling return analysis helps identify truly consistent performers.
