This paper performs a census of th 107 performance measures for portfolios that have been propsed so far in scientific literature. We discuss the main strengths and weaknesses and provide a clasification based on their objectives, properties, and degree of generalization. The measures are categorized based on the general way they are computed: asset selection vs. market timing, standardized vs. individualized, absolute vs. relative, and excess return vs. gain measure.
