We present an Aggregate Return On Investment (AROI …), obtained as the ratio of total (undiscounted) cash flow to total invested capital and show that it is a genuine rate of return … ranks any bundle of different-risk competing projects.

Internal Rate of Return (AIRR) is presented, which overcome all the IRR difficulties. In particular, the AIRR approach enables … to prove that (1) a project is not uniquely associated with a return rate, but with a return function, which maps … aggregate capitals to rates of return; (2) any definition of rate of return appearing in the (past and) future literature is a …

The properties of information, including "information uncertainty", can be understood only Bayesianly. Common … formulations that define information uncertainty in terms of just statistical "precision" (i.e. sampling variance), or any one … affecting f(x|φ,⋅), information uncertainty alters posterior beliefs f(φ|x,⋅), and therefore also asset prices and expected …

The Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) has been the cornerstone of the asset allocation for over 40 years. In the past decade though, it led in a rather systematic way to bad investments decisions. One of MPT's main assumptions, investor risk aversion that translates into volatility aversion, biases...

We propose a genuinely internal approach to project valuation and decision based on the average Return On Investment (ROI), obtained as the ratio of total operating profit (NOPAT) to total invested capital or, equivalently, as the ratio of net cash flow to total invested capital. The approach...
