Cinnamon Core as a performance engine
Return and risk for any consolidation.
Core calculates return and risk on the daily states, for any consolidation you form, against any benchmark you define. In the report, on screen or through the API.
- 100,000portfolios calculated in under an hour
Two returns, both right
Why Core calculates more than one return
A portfolio gains 10 percent in the first half of the year. At mid-year the client adds half of her initial investment. In the second half the portfolio loses 2 percent.
Time-weighted
What the manager achieved. The deposit plays no part.
Money-weighted (Modified Dietz)
What the client experienced. More capital was invested in the weaker half.
Worked example for illustration. 1.10 × 0.98 − 1 = 7.8 %; Dietz: (156.8 − 100 − 50) / (100 + ½ × 50) = 5.4 %.
