Performance

The goal of any investment strategy is to generate positive returns or to limit the downside in negative market conditions. Performance can thus be indicated in absolute or relative terms when compared to a benchmark. Performance is measured as gross or net, with the latter being the return after fees and expenses have been deducted. Some investment managers take a performance fee on the assets they manage, calculated against the portfolio’s outperformance when compared to its benchmark.
