标题: IPS Return Calc: Add or Multiply? [打印本页] 作者: Zesty 时间: 2011-7-11 18:59 标题: IPS Return Calc: Add or Multiply?
I use the geometric method to get the required return and have been correct doing this, but I do see addition used as an alternative. Is there any instance in which I would be incorrect to multiply instead of add?

multiperiod - multiply
single period - add or multiply would give you a very small difference. (and since process is what is looked at - both would be accepted).

CFAI generally seems to:
* ADD for individual IPS
* MULTIPLY for institutional IPS
Though multiplying is more correct, and should always get you full marks.作者: NakedPuts2011 时间: 2011-7-11 18:59
Stalla (Dave Hetherington) said many times in his lectures that it didnt matter which method you used, either are correct.作者: nannan66 时间: 2011-7-11 18:59

I heard him say that as well. It's all about documenting how you arrived at your final answer. The grader can pick up where you might have used a wrong input or made a wrong assumption and can still award partial credit.
