Hello, to look at real rate of returns <https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/realrateofreturn.asp> of my investments, I followed this process:
- created a new commodity "EUR2": 1980-01-01 commodity EUR2 note: "inflation-adjusted Euro, used to compute CAGR with beangrow" - downloaded the Consumer Price Index <https://data.oecd.org/price/inflation-cpi.htm> for the years covered by my ledgers: date value (2015=1) 01/07/2010 0.93416 01/10/2010 0.93727 01/01/2011 0.94505 01/04/2011 0.95096 01/07/2011 0.95469 01/10/2011 0.95811 01/01/2012 0.96526 - assigned the index as price of the new commodity over time: 2010-01-07 price EUR2 0.93416 EUR 2010-01-10 price EUR2 0.93727 EUR 2011-01-01 price EUR2 0.94505 EUR 2011-01-04 price EUR2 0.95096 EUR 2011-01-07 price EUR2 0.95469 EUR 2011-01-10 price EUR2 0.95811 EUR 2012-01-01 price EUR2 0.96526 EUR - ran beangrow.compute_returns.py - on the commodity EUR to have the nominal rate of return; - on this commodity EUR2 to have the real rate of return. group { name: "All" investment: "Assets:Investments:Broker1:*" investment: "Assets:Investments:Broker2:*" currency: "EUR2" } Have I over-complicated, or even missed/did something wrong? Is there a more straightforward way to compute the real rate of returns? Thanks for feedbacks. Thanks to creators and contributors of this fantastic tool. I am using since five years and I find so helpful to manage finances and inform decisions. --Stefano -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
