We Focus on your Total Return Individual objectives may differ but the majority of investors are looking to generate a positive return on their capital. This may include cash flow to pay monthly bills or long-term capital appreciation to fund a future need. Returns will vary based on issues such as market timing & risk tolerance, but the practice of observing returns against the market (or benchmark) is one way to measure your progress towards achieving your goals and objectives. The dollar value [$] of your annual return is less important than the rate of return [%] as a percentage of your invested assets. The value of your portfolio may be artificially skewed by deposits and withdrawals that prevent us from analyzing the true performance of the assets. The key ingredients to your total return are: Asset price movements, investment income, fees and expenses, & taxes.
