Why is it important to evaluate mutual fund performance over multiple time periods?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

A fund may look great over 1 year (coinciding with its strength) but poor over 5 years. Or a fund may look poor over 1 year (due to its style being out of favour) but excellent over 10 years. Evaluating performance across multiple standardized periods — and especially using rolling returns — provides a much more complete and reliable picture of fund quality.
