Time-Weighted Performance
Time-weighted performance is a method of calculating investment returns that eliminates the distorting effects of cash inflows and outflows. It focuses on the growth of the underlying strategy itself, providing a clearer picture of how the asset has performed over a specific period.
For leveraged tokens, this metric is vital because it reveals the true impact of the daily rebalancing and erosion, separate from any individual investor's deposits or withdrawals. By tracking the time-weighted performance, analysts can compare the efficiency of different leveraged tokens and assess the long-term impact of their rebalancing costs.
It is the standard way to evaluate the success of a managed strategy, ensuring that the performance reflects the asset's behavior rather than the investor's activity.
