PRA Group is a financial and business services company with operations in the Americas, Europe, and Australia. Co.'s main business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. Co. purchases portfolios of nonperforming loans in two categories: Core, which focuses on purchasing and collecting nonperforming loans, which it purchased since either the credit originators and/or other third-party collection agencies have been unsuccessful in collecting the balance owed; and Insolvency, which consists of purchasing and collecting on nonperforming loan accounts where the customer is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding or the equivalent in some European countries. The PRAA YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the PRAA YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether PRAA YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the PRAA YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
