Q5. Time-weighted returns are used by the investment management industry because they:
A) are not affected by the timing of cash flows. B) result in higher returns versus the money-weighted return calculation. C) take all cash inflows and outflows into account using the internal rate of return.
Q6. Why is the time-weighted rate of return the preferred method of performance measurement?
A) Time-weighted returns are not influenced by the timing of cash flows. B) Time weighted allows for inter-period measurement and therefore is more flexible in determining exactly how a portfolio performed during a specific interval of time.
C) There is no preference for time-weighted versus money-weighted.
