They also work to measure The performance of a property manager And they allow for a comparison between profit and risk; Measuring financial asset opportunities or creating portfolios.

These types of indicators began to be used in the late 19th century Journalist Charles H. Dove.

If one index rises 500 points in one day and the other adds 20 points, the first index may seem to perform better. However, if the previous day started at 30,000 points and the other at 300 points, in percentage terms the gains for the latter can be considered significant.
