French term or phrase: performances de xx à xx
En effet, les fortes progressions boursières du secteur de la technologie et des matières premières ont profité aux fonds exposés à ces secteurs qui affichent des performances de 7% à 11% sur la période.

Does this mean "rose 7% to 11% over the period" or "rose from 7% to 11% over the period", i.e. did it start at 7% or go up 7%? Thanks!

disagree  Attorney DC Bar: Beg to differ. It means the rise in share prices in the sector produced returns of 7% to 11% for funds invested in that sector, not a rise of 7% to 11%.

  -> In my understanding, fund valuation rose 7 to 11%. It seems to me that returns are only produced when you sell.

gained 7% to 11%


Explanation:
I think you can also say that funds gain x%.

In the link below it says: " For example, over ten years, two funds may have gained 12% per year on average, but they may have taken drastically different routes to get there. "

An alternative really, as I also agree with Adam Lankamer's reply.
