Distributions of income and capital gains =$1.50
Required:
The rate of return to an investor in the fund=?
Solution:
Rate of return=[tex]\frac{(NAV)_f+\ Distributions}{(NAV)_o}-1[/tex]
[tex]Rate\ of\ return=\frac{12.10+1.50}{12.50}-1 \\Rate\ of\ return=0.088[/tex]
The rate of return to an investor in the fund=0.088*100=8.80%
