  31. Real Rate of Return Example • 1. You are in the 28 percent tax bracket. • 1.0 - .28 = .72 • If the yield on your investment is 6.25% then: .0625 x .72 = .045 • Your after tax return is 4.5% • If inflation is 5%, your real rate of return after inflation is 4.75% (.05 x (1-.05) = .0475

  32. Management Strategies — Long-Term Investors • Business-cycle timing • Dollar-cost averaging • Portfolio diversification • Asset allocation

  33. Investment Alternatives • What is stock? • part ownership in a company • the money you pay for shares of stock provides equity capital for the business

  40. Mandatory Financial Investment for Retirement • Employer / Employee Social Security Contributions (15.3% of earnings up to a maximum taxable amount of $106,800 in 2009) • Defined Benefit Private Pension Plans

  41. Discretionary Financial Investment for Retirement • Defined Contribution Pension Plans • 401(k), 403(b), IRA • Roth IRA • Roth 401(k)

  42. Income and Consumption Over the Life Cycle

  43. Measures of Risk • Beta - measures the variability in the rate of return of a particular stock relative to the larger stock market. • Beta stock A = 3.0 means the variability in the rate of return of stock A is three times the market average • Bond ratings - Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s ratings of bonds for default risk only.

  44. The Relationship Between Rate of Return and Risk • Risk and average rate of return are positively correlated. • Risk and variance of rate of return are positively correlated.

  45. Measuring the Rate of Return • Typically think of rate of return in terms of interest paid per $1.00 invested. But, the timing of when you get this return varies depending on… • income return - situation where the principal that is invested remains the same but the investor periodically receives income based on this investment. • Certificates of deposit • money market funds • bond interest • stock dividends

  46. Calculating the Return on an Investment Rate of Return is the total income you receive on an investment over a specific period of time divided by the original amount invested. For example: Assume you invest $3,000 in a mutual fund. Also assume the mutual fund pays you $50 dividends this year and that the mutual fund is worth $3,275 at the end of the year. Step 1: Subtract the investment’s initial value from the investment’s value at the end of the year: $3,275 - $3,000 = $275 Step 2: Add the annual income to the amount calculated in Step 1. $50 + $275 = $325 Step 3: Divide the total dollar amount of return calculated in Step 2 by the original investment. $325/$3,000 = 0.108 = 10.8%

  47. Measuring the Rate of Return • Capital gain - situation where you get your return only when you sell the investment. • stocks • Real Estate • collectibles • Sometimes, you get a combination of income and capital gains… makes it even more difficult to calculate the rate of return.

  48. Measuring the Rate of Return • The risk-return trade-off can also be managed by having a variety of investments in your portfolio • BE DIVERSIFIED! • Statistically, you need between 6-15 stocks in different in different industries to be fully diversified in the market
