Can this skill handle log returns for financial modeling?

Yes, it supports the calculation and conversion of continuously compounded (log) returns, which are essential for time-additive statistical modeling and risk analysis.

What is the difference between TWR and MWR?

Time-Weighted Return (TWR) ignores the impact of cash flows to measure manager skill, while Money-Weighted Return (MWR) accounts for the timing of deposits and withdrawals to reflect the investor's actual experience.

When should I use CAGR instead of simple returns?

Use Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) when you need to describe the smoothed annual growth of an investment over multiple years, as it accounts for the effects of compounding.

Does it calculate the internal rate of return (IRR)?

Yes, the Money-Weighted Return (MWR) functionality provides the internal rate of return for the specific cash flows associated with an investment portfolio.
