What is a rolling return?

A rolling return measures what you would actually have earned by investing on any given day and holding for a fixed number of years. Instead of quoting one figure from a single convenient start date, it repeats that calculation for every start date in the fund's history — 785 separate five-year windows for this fund. The gap between the best and the worst of those windows shows how much your entry date mattered.
