What are rolling returns of a mutual fund?

Rolling returns are all of the returns that the fund gave for a particular investment period. If, for example, we wish to understand how much returns the fund usually gave for a 10Y lump sum investment, we can list down in a table or chart returns like this:

invested on 1st Jan 2006 and sold on 1st Jan 2016 after 10 years and got a return of X%
invested on 2nd Jan 2006 and sold on 2nd Jan 2016 after 10 years and got a return of Y%
invested on 3rd Jan 2006 and sold on 3rd Jan 2016 after 10 years and got a return of Z%

and so on. This sequence of returns [X,Y,Z] is a time series like this:

Ending date	Type	Return
01-Jan-16	10Y lump sum	X%
02-Jan-16	10Y lump sum	Y%
03-Jan-16	10Y lump sum	Z%

With this time-series, you can plot a graph, calculate metrics like average, max, min, median etc.

For example, we have calculated metrics like

average = (X+Y+Z)/3 etc. (called mean)
standard deviation = square root of the average of (X-mean)^2,(Y-mean)^2,(Z-mean)^2
median = middle value of the sorted set X,Y,Z (gives a “truer” average by avoiding extreme values)
max and min = extreme values of the set
return per unit risk = AVERAGE/standard deviation
Sharpe Ratio = (average - 7%)/standard deviation, assuming 7% is the risk-free rate that you will anyway get from safe investments
