I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Investment Portfolio Performance Measurement: Absolute and Relative???


In absolute term; Uncle8888's investment portfolio total return on 11 Oct 2007 is 145% and on 29 Jun 2015 is 148%

Does the two absolute number of 145% and 148% look same and okay?

It is how absolute number says it loud and clear!

145% and 148%!


SMOL: Trust but Verify!

From Jan 2000 to 11 Oct 2007, the relative return in CAGR is 12.2%; but from Jan 2000 to 29 Jun 2015, CAGR is just 8.1%

Still same? Still okay?

When somebody tells you their Absolute Return. You should ask them for their Relative Return e.g. CAGR too.
