Customer Reviews

Clearly written one of a kind book for understanding ROR

A great reference book for any registered representative, or investment advisor who wants to understand rate or return (ROR), the difference between time and dollar weighted rates of return, and the different methods of calculating each. There are examples to demonstrate the concepts and the formulas for calculating the results. We were mainly interested in the first half of the book which dealt with producing the rates. The second half seemed to deal more with reporting requirements for investment companies (very important if it pertains to you.) The only thing that could be added to this publication would be Excel spreadsheets on a CD ROM. If you provide clients with Rate of Return information, this is a must read.
