During the 10 years from 10/10/2013 to 10/10/2023, Pioneer‘s FRR™ rating has ranged from as low as 7 to as high as 97. The periods when Pioneer‘s FRR™ rating was lowest were also the times when investing in Pioneer was most likely to be profitable.
If an investor had bought Pioneer on every day when it had a FRR™ under 16.2, he would have made money over 75% of the time if he held it for 6 months or less, or 100% of the time if held for between 9 months and 2 years. The average return from these investments can be seen on the left chart.
If an investor had bought Pioneer on every day when it had a FRR™ between 16.2 and 88.3, he would have made money around 55% of the time, and he would have averaged a gain of less than 20%, even if he held it for as long as 2 years, as the middle chart shows.
Conversely, if an investor had bought Pioneer on every day when it had a FRR™ over 88.3, he would have made money less than 33% of the time, and he would have averaged a loss of around 20% if he held it for 6 months or more, as the right chart shows.
