An example of Money Weighted Rate of Return

Hi everyone, I need some help with one example…Anyone willing to explain it to me step by step?

You need to work out how much was redeemed / invested in the fund each year.

CFO - start = 15m

If the fund return 15% you would expect value 15 x 1.15 = 17.25
But value at tear end is 20 . Difference 20 - 17.25 = 2.75 must have been invested.
C01 = 2.75

Follow that logic through for subsequent years to calculate any investments or withdrawls.

Value end year 3 = 5 x 1.1 = 5.5

I also hope the question told you to assume yearend external CFs. :roll_eyes:

Thank you !! :slightly_smiling_face:

Also, in examples where I am depositing different sum of money each month for a period of 5 months ( interest rate compounded monthly) I looked through solution and the formula that was used was basic future single cash flow , applied 5 times (for each month independently) and in the end what is supposed to be calculated is the money collected after those 5 months.However, I am not sure why non- annual compounding method is not a good option for this kind of question?

you need to show us the question with full wording

Here it is :slight_smile:

Well here they want the to know how much you have at the end june / 1st July.
There is no need to go any further.
I would put this is CF function.
C01 = 1,500
C02 = 2,000
etc
I = 0.5
CPT NFV

Thanks a lot! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

For those of you with the older version of the BAII that does not have the NFV feature, calculate the NPV and roll it up with 6 months interest.
