If the index value when you invested first in the equity market seven years back is 32,000 and the current index levels are at 40,000, what is the holding period re- turn?
What is the geometric average annual return that you would communicate to your friend on your investment?
Holding period return = (Current value - Invested value) / Invested value
= (40000 - 32000) / 32000
= 25%
Geometric return over 7 years = (40000/32000)^(1/7) - 1
= 1.25^(1/7) - 1
= 0.0324
Or 3.24%
