Both generated profit of $1k on the same investment. The XIRR of A is 20.6% while B is 15.5%. If B holdings is worth $11,325 at the end it will have the same XIRR as A but B's profit will be 32.5% higher.
A has higher return due to lower capital after the cash out. That is logical, isn't it?

I think a single indicator can hardly tell the whole story and a few more can give a wholier picture.
My XIRR is 25.5% (based on today closing price) but return on invested money is only about 9.9%.
Someone with 1% gain on 1 Jan and do nothing after then, IF the XIRR is done on 31 Dec, it will not give him/her 12% return, but 1% return.
More had been discussed in the thread below, which I may not want to repeat in this thread. Please refer to the thread for more detail on XIRR

I managed about 20% return this year including dividend.
Best performer is SuperBowl, from 0.47 to current price of 0.74.
Still holding out for better offer from Hiap Hoe.
Wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2014!
Haut ah !

NAV per unit went from 1.13 to 1.297 for the year 2013. All dividends were reinvested.
The worst dog was Sing Holdings, followed by Elec & Eltek.
These 2 dogs ate away 1/3 of my gains for the year.
Reflection : Too greedy.

It translated to 14.8% return, not too bad. If without the two "dogs" contribution, then it will be 22%, right?

I am yet to complete the review. Preliminary review shows that Challenger helped quite a lot. So did M1 and YZJ. None of my portfolio lost money this year. The recent acquired MemstarT also helped a bit.
Other in this forum might have better result, with a good run up of stocks like Kingsmen, Silverlake and Boustead etc.
The year is closed. The final result are
XIRR result is 32%, including dividends. STI is flat at 0%, and +3.4% (estimation) with dividend. The last few day of market make a few % difference.
Not too bad a year for me. Wish you all Happy New Year 2014.

Yes. When the greed crept in, I just sold F&N, Tan Chong, etc, and added to Sing Holdings. I think in the future, I'll just allocate a maximum of 15% for a counter in the portofolio.

The money belongs to me and next of kin. Each contributes different sum. So I use the NAV per unit concept.
