Investing Glossary
The Investing Glossary explains the financial terms, risk measures, and portfolio concepts used across GNG Research.
Find a term
Enter a term, part of its definition, or a category in Search glossary terms. Results remain grouped by category.
Categories include GNG Research Metrics, Methodology, Optimizer & Performance, Risk Measures, Factor Investing, and Portfolio Constraints. A category explains a concept; it does not establish that every related tool is available to your account.
Read an entry
Select a term to open its page. Depending on the entry, you can read a short definition, a longer explanation, and a formula. Related terms opens connected concepts. Return to the glossary to start another search.
The public glossary presents its available public definitions. A missing or unavailable entry is not evidence that the metric equals zero or has no meaning.
Use definitions in context
Match the definition to the specific period and unit shown by the tool. Annualized return and cumulative return, for example, describe different quantities.
GNG's proprietary valuation and rating methods are explained at a high level. The glossary does not provide instructions to reproduce those methods.
