This paper presents a theoretical framework for valuation, investment decisions, and performance measurement based on a nonstandard theory of residual income. It is derived from the notion of “unrecovered” capital, which is here named “lost” capital because it represents the capital...

This paper introduces new money-weighted metrics for investment performance analysis, based on arithmetic means of holding period rates weighted by the investment's market values. This approach generates rates of return which measure a fund's or portfolio's performance and a fund manager's...

This paper applies Magni's (2011) Aggregate Return On Investment (AROI)to investment performance measurement. We show that the ratio of undiscountednet cash flow to undiscounted invested capital is not a naive metric (itseemingly does not take the time value of money into account). It is a...

In this paper, we benchmark an investment actively managed (e.g., fund, portfolio) against a reference portfolio passively managed replicating the investment's cash flows in order to measure the value added by the active investment and decompose it according to the influence of the investment...

In this note we make use of theAverage Internal Rate of Return (AIRR) approach, first introduced in Magni (2010), to introduce a pair of metrics, opposed to IRR and TWRR, which measure the manager's performance and the investor's performance on the basis of the market values of the fund. We also...

We propose an innovative methodology for decomposing the value added generated by a money manager within a given assessment interval into the contributions of the manager's investment decisions made in the various periods, in order to identify the most (and the least) impactful period decisions....
