Compounded Monthly R (%) | Average compounded return per 1 month (across all months). | ((RoR1*RoR2*RoR3*...RoRN)1/N -1) *100% |
Compounded Annual R (%) | Average compounded return of each year (across all years). | ((1 + Compounded Monthly R)12 -1) *100% |
Monthly Mean R (%) | Average of monthly returns. | (R1+R2+ R3+...RN) / N |
Total Compound R (%) | Total compounded rate of return. | (RoR1*RoR2*RoR3* …RoRN - 1) *100% |
YTD R (%) | Year-to-date return, which is the total compounded return since first month of the current year. | ((RoRs+1*RoRs+2*...RoRN-s)1/(N-s) -1) *100%, where s = last month of previous year |
Alpha (%) | Excess return of a portfolio, not accounting for returns correlated with overall market movements (tracked by a benchmark such as S&P). | (M - Beta* BM)*100% |
