Hello, I did not quite get the solution for real return. Why did we ignore the rest of the stuff?

[@SteynLars]

Hi, great video! I have a question regarding the Harmonic mean. You mentioned that the it takes into account the amounts invested in the example ($2000, $3000, $4000), however the solution only takes into account the price of the shares. Therefore if the amounts invested were different, the answer would have remained the same as the above mentioned amounts were not used in the calculation? Am I missing something?

[@chrissyification1]

Is there any way we can calculate the annualized return example (Bond A 120 days, Bond B 8 months..) on ICONV?

[@jashshah6368]

[@mostafaemad740]

thanks but how you calculate the 90 percentiles for the winsorized mean

[@hcuongnguyen]

I'm confused. In 51:43. (1 + real return) = (1+ Nominal risk free rate).... ???

[@user-vq1hv9im2j]

Is the answer of harmonic mean correct? Can we still use the same formula when we are not using fixed amount of investment?

[@hibulaj]

Hi Prof, really appreciate your video. Can you please make a playlist containing CFA Level 1 2024 programme? Really appreciate

[@joytheboy7730]

For the Time-Weighted Return Example at 40:00, shouldn't the Time-Weighted Return be 17.5%? It's 17.4675% which should be rounded up, right?

[@rohanverma282]

yea

[@noufalsaadi8878]

Hello
How did you come up with 0.97 in the Geometric mean return?

[@DeepaaPandey]

1-.03

Not trying to be too picky but you often assume you're talking to people who have (or are getting) a degree in finance. I do not have that background so many times, these "elementary" ideas are new to me. Comments that suggest I should already know this material are both discouraging and unhelpful. But I like your videos, so I appreciate the content and it is (for the most part) helpful.
