Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is a measure of financial performance showing the total amount that an investor receives from an investment, specifically shares or stocks.
Total shareholder return factors in capital gains and dividends when measuring the total return generated by shares.
TSR is an easily understood figure of the total financial benefits received by shareholders.
TSR is a good indicator of the long-term value of an investment, but it is limited to past performance, requires investment to generate cash flow, and can be sensitive to stock market volatility.
