An investor invested RM100 in a fund on Jan 1998 and another RM100 on Jan 1999. The following gives the price of a unit in the fund on Jan 1st:
Year Unit Price
1998 100
1999 125
2000 135
Calculate time-weighted rate of return.
Year | Unit value | Amount invested | Units Purchased = amount invested/unit price | total units available = previous units+new units |
1998 | 100 | 100 | 1 | 1 |
1999 | 125 | 100 | 0.8 | 1.8 |
2000 | 135 | |||
return in 1998-1999 | (Units price*no of units)/(purchase price)-1 | (1*125)/(100) -1 | 25% | |
return in 1999-2000 | (Units price*no of units)/purchase price | (1.8*135)/(125+100) -1 | 8.00% | |
weighted average return | (1+ Year 1 rate of return)*(1+year 2 rate of return)-1 | (1.25)*1.08)-1 | 35% |
