Affluent Partners Holdings Limited (HKG:1466) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 14% in the last week. But that doesn't undermine the rather lovely longer-term return, if you measure over the last three years. Indeed, the share price is up a very strong 162% in that time. To some, the recent share price pullback wouldn't be surprising after such a good run. Only time will tell if there is still too much optimism currently reflected in the share price.

Since the long term performance has been good but there's been a recent pullback of 14%, let's check if the fundamentals match the share price.

What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?

We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Affluent Partners Holdings' total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Affluent Partners Holdings hasn't been paying dividends, but its TSR of 175% exceeds its share price return of 162%, implying it has either spun-off a business, or raised capital at a discount; thereby providing additional value to shareholders.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that Affluent Partners Holdings shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 127% over one year. That certainly beats the loss of about 14% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Affluent Partners Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors.
