Question

An association had a fund balance of 75 on January 1 and 60 on December 31. At the end of every month during the year, the association deposited 10 from membership fees. There were withdrawals of 5 on February 28, 25 on June 30, 80 on October 15, and 35 on October 31. Calculate the dollar-weighted (money-weighted) rate of return for the year

Answer 1

Answer: 0.11 or 11%

Explanation: The dollar-weighted return (DWR) measures the rate of return of an investment or a portfolio, taking under consideration the timing of flows. for every deposit, add the resulting amount to the start balance, and for every withdrawal, subtract that quantity. Check the attachment for the solution.

Once you've got both numbers, divide the first by the second. which will offer you the dollar-weighted investment return, which you'll then multiply by 100 to give you a return in percentage terms.
