Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is the rate of return gained over the course of a year on a specific investment, taking into account compounding interest.
Explanation of Specific Terms:
- Rate of return: The amount of profit or growth generated by an investment, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment.
- Compounding interest: Interest that is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
- Regular basis: The frequency at which compounding occurs, such as daily, monthly, or annually.
Key Points for Beginners:
- Why it's important: APY helps investors understand the true annual return on an investment, considering the effect of compounding.
- How it works: Higher APY indicates greater growth potential due to more frequent compounding. It's crucial for comparing different investment options to maximize returns over time.
