Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of using four "CT indicators" to assess investment health and improve investment strategies, focusing on long-term investment and risk management [3]. Group 1: Investment Operation Level - The first indicator is Time-Weighted Return (TWR), which reflects the fund manager's ability to operate the fund, while the Money-Weighted Return (MWR) indicates the investor's timing ability [6][7]. - A standard check shows that if TWR is less than MWR, the investor's operation is better than the fund itself, indicating a good level of skill [9]. - An example is provided where an ordinary investor achieved a 0.82% higher MWR than TWR over 25 years through long-term investment and counter-cyclical buying [13][14]. Group 2: Earning Difficulty Level - The second indicator is the Sharpe Ratio, calculated as return divided by volatility, measuring the return per unit of risk taken [20][21]. - A Sharpe Ratio below 1 indicates excessive risk, while a higher ratio suggests better risk-adjusted returns [22][24]. - The example investor has a Sharpe Ratio of 1.99, outperforming the CSI 300 at 1.5 and the NASDAQ 100 at less than 1, indicating easier profit generation [25][26].
