What an amount invested in a US stock or index ETF became over a past period under one strategy: lump_sum (all on the first trading day), monthly (spread on the trading day nearest the 1st of each month) or buy_the_dip (bought after falls of a set % from the latest high), on real daily closing prices (adjusted for splits and reinvested dividends). Returns final value, total and yearly return, worst fall and Sharpe ratio. Use when the user asks about one specific approach, e.g. "what would $5,000 in Microsoft since 2015 be worth" (lump_sum) or "if I'd put money into SPY every month since 2010" (monthly). Do not use to compare strategies (use smartfin_compare_investment_strategies) or for future projections (use smartfin_project_savings_growth). Limits: US-listed S&P 500 companies and major index ETFs only, US dollars, month-level periods.
