Return on Shareholders' Funds is an important financial ratio that measures the profitability of a company from the perspective of its shareholders. It shows how effectively a company is utilizing the funds provided by its shareholders to generate profits. A higher ROE is generally considered favorable, as it indicates that the company is generating more profits for its shareholders for each rupee of equity invested.
