The Bottom Line

Performance returns are the ultimate measure,

Of how well we do managing the treasure.

Sounds simple - So what’s all the fuss?

Read on, read on, read on you must!

The formulas, calculations and rules are a mess,

The terms, lack of standards and issues add to the stress!

IRR’s or TWR’s, which one is right?

Leverage, Un-leveraged, Before or After Fee

Are you beginning to see the light?

How could such a number be so sly?

Who uses it? How, When and Why?

Marketing does for RFP’s.

Clients for benchmarking and incentive fees.

Senior Management for KPI,

(To equitably “divi-up” the bonus pie),

Research for analyzing historical trends,

Portfolio Management for strategic property & region blends,

And last but not least, NCREIF and AIMR,

Who are they anyway?

The Bottom Line – Returns can make or break your day!
