Preguntas frecuentes
Why do investors talk about quintiles instead of averages?
Averages hide the power-law shape of venture outcomes. A quintile breakdown shows how concentrated returns actually are in a small number of top-performing investments.
How is a quintile different from a percentile?
A quintile is a fixed 20 percent slice of ranked data, while a percentile marks any single point in that ranking, for example the 90th percentile.
