There are four primary methods for calculating investment performance: Time-Weighted Return, Simple Return, Internal Rate of Return, and Money-Weighted Return.

In accordance with regulations that came into effect in 2016, Wealthface displays your return using the Money-Weighted Return method, which takes into account the returns you earn on deposits, and the returns earned on your investments.

A money-weighted return rate is a measure of the rate of return for an asset or portfolio of assets. It is calculated by finding the rate of return that will set the present values.

The return rate is the gain or loss on an investment over a specified period, expressed as a percentage of the investment’s cost. Gains on investments are defined as income received, and any capital gains realized on the investment’s sale.

The formula for the rate of return is:

[(Current price – Original price) / Original price] x 100

Past performance does not determine future returns on investment. We believe that our investment strategy helps control fees, manages emotionally motivated decisions, and optimizes diversification to maximize return and minimize loss. We believe that to build wealth;you need to stick to your investment strategy and continuously diversify your portfolio.
