Rate of Return (RoR)

The Rate of Return (RoR) is a measure that indicates the net gain or loss of an investment over a specified time period. It is a crucial metric used to assess the performance of investments. RoR can be applied to various assets, including stocks, bonds, real estate and other financial instruments. Below is the formula to calculate RoR: Rate of return = [(Current value - Initial value)/ Initial value ] x 100
Here :
  • The current value is the present value of the investment
  • The initial value is the original investment amount

Time-Weighted Return (TWR)

Time-Weighted Return (TWR) is a measure of the compound rate of growth of an investment portfolio over a specified time period. It is used to evaluate the performance of investment portfolios accurately, especially when there are multiple cash flows, such as new investments or redemptions. It accounts for the compounding effect of your returns over time. TWR = [(1+HP1) x (1+HP2) ×⋯× (1+HPn)] - 1
Here :
  • n = Number of sub-periods
  • HP = End value - (Initial value + Cash flow)/ (Initial value + Cash flow)
  • HPn = Return for sub-period n

Frequently Asked Questions

The frequency of compounding may vary across banks. They usually calculate according to their own will. However, in practice, only a few methods of compounding are used:

  • Annual compounding: Interest is calculated once a year
  • Half-yearly compounding: Interest is calculated every six months
  • Quarterly compounding:Interest is calculated once every three months
  • Daily compounding:Interest is calculated every day

Compounding interest means interest on interest. Each time you earn interest on your principal, it is added to the original amount, which then becomes the principal for the next cycle. This allows exponential growth for your interest. Compounding interest can be good or bad depending on whether you are a saver or a borrower, respectively.

Although the difference won't be much, it is better to opt for daily compounding. The interest amount in case of daily compounding will be slightly higher than the other options. This is governed by the principle: the shorter the compounding interval, the higher the interest.

The power of compounding works by growing your wealth exponentially. It adds the profit earned back to the principal amount and then reinvests the entire sum to accelerate the profit earning process. Suppose, you invest ₹ 1000 in a bank which offers 10% interest per annum. Your investment becomes ₹ 1100 after the first year, then ₹ 1210 after 2nd year and so on.
