Answer:
19.09%
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial NAV per share = $ 26.40
Fund paid dividends per share = $ 1.40
Capital gains per share = $ 1.20
Current NAV = $ 28.84
Now,
The total income = Fund paid dividends + Capital gains = $ 1.40 + $ 1.20
or
The total income = $ 2.60
Now, the holding period return is calculated as:
holding period return = [tex]\frac{\textup{Total income + ( current NAV - initial NAV )}}{\textup{Initial NAV )}}[/tex]
or
holding period return = [tex]\frac{2.60 + (28.84 - 26.40)}{26.40}\times100%[/tex]
or
holding period return = 0.1909 × 100% = 19.09%
