Abstract

A portfolio is a set of investments. The return on a portfolio is probably the most important information for the investor. In most cases the investor has an intuitive perception of the return. If the value of the portfolio rises the return is positive, and if the value of the portfolio declines the return is negative. However, there is no unique method for calculating the return. Discussing different approaches to return calculation is one of the main aspects of this book.
