You invest $1,000 at the beginning of 2030 in a mutual fund. If in 2030 the fund has a holding-period-return of -18.06%, what return in 2031 would be necessary for your investment to recover its original value?
Value of the investment at the beginning of 2030 is 1000
Holding period return = (Value of investment at the end - Value of investment at the beginning)/ Value of investment at the beginning
-18.06% = (Value of investment at the end - 1000)/ 1000
-18.06%*1000 = (Value of investment at the end - 1000)
-180.60 +1000 = Value of investment at the end
Value of investment at the end = 819.40
Return to be earned in 2031 to recover its original value
=1000 - 819.40 i.e 180.60
Return in % in 2031 = 180.60 / 819.40 i.e 22.04%
