Plain-language summary

What this metric tells you

Return 1 Year shows how much an asset gained or lost over the last 12 months. It is one of the fastest ways to separate recent winners from laggards on one common time window.

Key takeaway

A strong return tells you the outcome over the window. It does not tell you whether the path was smooth, durable, or easy to hold through.

FoxScore context

How FoxScore uses it

  • FoxScore surfaces this metric as a clean headline ranking for recent outcome.
  • It is most useful as an entry point, then should be checked against drawdown, volatility, and trend metrics.
  • Because it is simple and intuitive, it often becomes the first ranking users open before drilling into quality of the move.

How to interpret this metric

What it measures

  • The net price change over the last 12 months.
  • Which assets actually ended the period materially higher or lower.
  • A simple outcome measure that is easy to compare across many assets.

How to read it

  • High positive values mean strong appreciation over the window.
  • Values near zero mean the asset made little net progress over the period.
  • Negative values mean the asset still sits below its level from that lookback start.

What can mislead

  • How violent the path was between the start and end date.
  • A strong number was driven by a very recent surge rather than a broad, persistent move.
  • The path involved deep drawdowns that this metric hides completely.

Most useful when

  • You want a fast first filter for recent or long-window winners.
  • You compare many assets on one consistent holding period.
  • You want the cleanest possible outcome metric before digging into risk or trend quality.

Important limits

  • How violent the path was between the start and end date.
  • Whether the move is still intact today or already rolling over.
  • Whether the gain came from a broad trend or a short late spike.
Methodology and sources

Technical definition, calculation notes and sources stay available here without dominating the explanation.

Description

The 1-year return shows how much the price has risen or fallen in total over roughly the last 12 months.

Calculation

  • We use daily close prices.
  • We compare today's price to the price from about 1 year ago (~365 calendar days) and compute the total return.
  • Formula: ret_1y = (Price_today / Price_1Y_ago) − 1

Interpretation

  • Higher is better (more appreciation).
  • Negative values mean losses.
