One simple way to benefit from the stock market is to buy an index fund. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. For example, the Gullewa Limited (ASX:GUL) share price is up 78% in the last three years, clearly besting than the market return of around 19% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 14% in the last year.

A Different Perspective
We're pleased to report that Gullewa shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 14% over one year. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 6.8% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper.
