Question

What about total portfolio vs benchmark index

A total portfolio versus a benchmark index comparison is a method used by investors to measure the performance of their investments. The total portfolio represents all the investments held by an investor, while the benchmark index is a standard against which the performance of these investments is compared.

For example, if you have a portfolio of stocks, you might compare its performance to a benchmark index like the S&P 500. If your portfolio's return is higher than the S&P 500, it means your investments are performing well.

However, it's important to choose a benchmark index that closely aligns with your investment strategy. For instance, if your portfolio is heavily invested in technology stocks, the NASDAQ might be a more appropriate benchmark.

Remember, the goal is not necessarily to beat the benchmark but to understand how your investments are performing in the context of the broader market.
