Finance: What is an Annualized Return? 36 Views
Share It!
Description:
When you buy and sell something for investment purposes, whether it be a stock, artwork, gemstones, a bond, a condominium, you know that once you have sold the asset, you have a cost basis, a sale price, and a profit or loss. However, one asset may have made you a 50% profit and taken 15 years, whereas another might only have made 25% but took just two years. How do you quantify which was the investment that earned at a better rate for you? Does compounding enter into the equation? Did the investment asset cost you additional money over the period, such as maintenance, repair, insurance, etc.? These are all factors that are calculated to equate to an annualized return rate, which takes the total return and spreads it out over the period of time it was held, amd averages it out over a 12 month period.
