Portfolio turnover is calculated by taking either the total amount of new securities purchased or the amount of securities sold - whichever is less - over a particular period, divided by the total net asset value (NAV) of the fund.

Turnover ratio is a measure of how a fund's portfolio changes in a year. This ratio indicates how much a fund is trading. Understanding turnover ratio helps in gaining insights into a fund's performance.

A turnover of 100% means that a portfolio is completely reconstituted in one year. While most individuals are investing for the long term, it looks like the investment horizon for the average managed mutual fund is closer to one year.
