Fund Performance

Definition

Fund performance measures the financial returns generated by an investment fund over time. This assessment typically involves calculating the percentage gain or loss in the fund’s net asset value (NAV) or share price, often compared against a relevant benchmark index. Factors influencing performance include the fund manager’s investment strategy, asset allocation decisions, and prevailing market conditions. Investors analyze these metrics to evaluate the effectiveness and profitability of their capital placements.
