Paasche index

Price index that tracks the historical development of the value of an existing portfolio.

The price index expresses the percentage by which the value of an existing portfolio has increased or decreased in comparison with the base date. The value of the index at a given reporting date can only be compared with its value at the base date, not with its value at other reporting dates.
