How to calculate your investment performance

As an investor aiming to manage your portfolio effectively, one of the most important tasks is tracking and calculating your investment returns. Understanding your returns allows you to evaluate how your investments are performing over time and whether your strategy is on the right track.

However, not all return calculation methods are created equal, and using the wrong approach can lead to misleading outcomes. In this blog post, we’ll explore different methods for calculating returns, highlight their advantages and disadvantages, and explain the methods used by Portfellow.

Portfellow is Officially Launched! 🚀

As of July, Portfellow has officially moved out of beta, and users now have access to a fully functional web application—from registration to portfolio management!

We are one of the most comprehensive web applications in the portfolio management sector, supporting nearly all asset classes and providing a detailed level of instrument tracking. But this doesn’t mean Portfellow is finished. We continue to add new functionalities every week.
