The PnL Index
The PnL Index is derived directly from the performance of an internal trading fund, which has a fixed baseline of $100,000. The matching 1:1 mechanism means each point change in the PnL Index corresponds exactly to a 1% profit or loss calculated based on this fixed baseline amount of $100,000, rather than on the cumulative value of the fund.
Example:
Step 1 (Initial): The PNL Index starts at 100, corresponding to the initial baseline value of $100,000 for the internal fund.
Step 2 (When the fund gains profit): After some periods, the fund achieves a profit of $12,000, equivalent to 12% based on the original baseline of $100,000. → The PnL Index thus increases by exactly 12 points, from 100 to 112.
Step 3 (When the fund incurs a loss): Suppose after this profitable period, the fund experiences a loss of $7,000, equivalent to 7%, still calculated against the original baseline of $100,000. → The PnL Index then decreases by exactly 7 points, from 112 down to 105.
In this way, the PNL Index always moves in direct proportion to percentage gains or losses based on the fixed $100,000 baseline. This transparent mechanism allows investors to easily monitor and calculate the fund’s real-time performance and clearly understand their investment outcomes.
