What is the definition for "Mean Annual Return" in Yahoo Finance?
The words lead me to believe it's an arithmetic mean of annual returns over a period (e.g. 3Y). But the values just don't make any sense to me.

- 3Y arithmetic average return: (0.2178 + 0.1193 + 0.0135) / 3 = 0.1167
- 3Y geometric average return (trailing return): 0.1053
