Introduction[edit]
Static return is a financial term used to describe the return on an investment assuming no changes in the investment's value over a specified period. This concept is particularly relevant in the analysis of fixed-income securities and other investments with predetermined returns.[1]
Definition[edit]
Static return refers to the expected or projected return on an investment, ignoring any potential market fluctuations or changes in the asset's value. It is a theoretical measure that assumes the investment remains unchanged in price or value for the duration of the holding period.[2]
Calculation[edit]
The calculation of static return is straightforward and typically involves the initial investment amount, the fixed interest rate (if applicable), and the investment period. For fixed-income securities, it might also include the face value of the bond and the coupon payments.
Application[edit]
Static return is primarily used in the analysis of bonds and other fixed-income securities. It is a useful measure for investors seeking stability and predictability in their investment returns. It also helps in comparing different fixed-income securities on a like-for-like basis.
Risks and Limitations[edit]
The primary limitation of static return is its inability to account for market volatility and other risks. It can lead to an overly optimistic view of an investment's potential, particularly in unstable or fluctuating markets.
