Rewrite

This page only explained calculation of the return on a portfolio indirectly, using portfolio component asset weights and returns. I have therefore added an explanation of direct historical measurement using start and end values and flows. I have also added a section at the end, a warning that discrepencies can arise between the two methods when there are transactions. I have also added a couple of supporting references and a couple of categories (including Category:investment).
