INTERPRETATION

Return attribution

Split the outcome into income, price movement and reinvestment so a good number cannot hide a weak source of return. The purpose is decomposition: show which assumption creates the result and which risk remains outside the calculation.

Model boundary

This workstation isolates the stated drivers. Optionality, liquidity, tax, settlement and instrument-specific conventions can change realized economics and should be layered in separately.
