Modified Dietz return
(1) Definition:
= (EV-BV-ECF)/(BV + adjusted ECF)
Other same term: aggregate return method
(2) Tử số: -ECF vì bản chất ECF chỉ là external cash flow, ko phải là phần lợi nhuận gia tăng, lợi nhuận gia tăng từ ECF cũng đã được tính trong EV-BV rồi
(3) Mẫu số: phải adjust Beginning value vì phần vốn gốc sinh lời có thêm phần ECF, tuy nhiên phải điều chỉnh theo trọng số
MIRR (Modified IRR)
(1) definition: internal rate of return (IRR) that adjusts for the timing of the ECFs
(2) Tính toán bằng iinterpolate + trial & error (thử sai)
Eg: 2,700 = 2,500(1 + r) + 45(1 + r)^0.77 + 25(1 + r)^0.37
