What about the Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

Investors should note that there's a difference between Corpfin Capital Prime Retail II SOCIMI's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price change, which we've covered above. Arguably the TSR is a more complete return calculation because it accounts for the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested), along with the hypothetical value of any discounted capital that have been offered to shareholders. Corpfin Capital Prime Retail II SOCIMI hasn't been paying dividends, but its TSR of 43% exceeds its share price return of -63%, implying it has either spun-off a business, or raised capital at a discount; thereby providing additional value to shareholders.
