- Returns use us_fund_price:adj_close (finlab data.set_market('us_fund')), adjusted for splits and for distributions where the data includes them.
- Excess returns use world_index:^GSPC, the S&P 500 price index without dividends, as the benchmark.
- Percentiles and the 6-month momentum signal compare against the most liquid US-listed ETFs by 20-day dollar volume; mutual funds are excluded.
- Category labels come from the fund data where it provides one (bond, income, crypto) and from the fund name for leveraged, inverse and commodity ETFs.
- Overlapping event windows are descriptive distributions, not independent samples.
- us_fund_price:adj_close records this ETF’s distributions regularly only from 2026-06-22; returns before that date mostly reflect price changes and splits, so they understate its total return.
