Time-weighted return. Related Articles. Time-weighted returns is a measure of the compound rate of return of a portfolio over a stated period of time. It requires a set of sub-period returns to be calculated whenever there is an external cash flow, such as a deposit or withdrawal from the portfolio.
A time-weighted return simply reflects how much your money would have grown if you had opened the account at the beginning of the period and didn't subsequently add or remove any money. Let's say you invested $10,000 five years ago and your cumulative time-weighted return was 25%. If you made no account contributions or withdrawals, your account would grow to $12,500 by the end of the five years. This is usually a reasonable reflection of your portfolio's performance--but not always. To understand why, it's helpful to consider the difference between time-weighted returns and the alternative way of calculating performance, known as dollar-weighted returns.
