By buying an index fund, you can roughly match the market return with ease. But many of us dare to dream of bigger returns, and build a portfolio ourselves. For example, the Tiong Woon Corporation Holding Ltd (SGX:BQM) share price is up 42% in the last three years, clearly besting the market return of around 6.8% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 28% in the last year , including dividends .

What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We've already covered Tiong Woon Corporation Holding's share price action, but we should also mention its total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Its history of dividend payouts mean that Tiong Woon Corporation Holding's TSR of 43% over the last 3 years is better than the share price return.
A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Tiong Woon Corporation Holding shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 28% over one year. And that does include the dividend. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 7.0% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. This makes us a little wary, but the business might have turned around its fortunes. Before forming an opinion on Tiong Woon Corporation Holding you might want to consider these 3 valuation metrics.
