ROI = (total P&L; over marked period / total invested over marked period) x 100
Where “total P&L; over marked period” includes realised and unrealised profit and loss during the relevant period and “total invested” means the total amount a participant invested in Macquarie warrants during the relevant period.
ROI = (total P&L; for the entire period / starting cash) x 100
ROI will be calculated after market close on the last trading day of the relevant fortnight period for determining the fortnightly prizes. ROI will be calculated after market close on the last trading day of the Participation Period for determining the overall prizes.
