Study Notes
Time Value of Money
- Calculating the future value (FV) and present value (PV) of a single sum of money, an ordinary annuity, an annuity due, a perpetuity (PV only), and a series of unequal cash flows are essential in investment management.
- Calculating Future Value (FV): The future value of a lump sum is the value of that sum at a future date given a certain rate of return.
- Calculating Present Value (PV): The present value of a lump sum is the value of that sum today given a certain rate of return.
- Annuities: An annuity is a series of equal payments made over a period of time.
- Ordinary Annuity: An ordinary annuity has equal annuity payments, with the first payment starting one period into the future.
- Annuity Due: An annuity due has equal annuity payments, with the first payment made immediately.
- Perpetuity: A perpetuity is an annuity that continues forever.
- Time Value of Money Problems: Timelines can be helpful in modeling and solving time value of money problems as they visually represent the cash flows and their timing.
- Frequency of Compounding: The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the effective annual rate (EAR) will be.
- Effective Annual Rate (EAR): The effective annual rate is the actual rate of return earned on an investment, taking into account the effects of compounding.
Interest Rates
- Interest Rates as Required Rates of Return: Interest rates represent the minimum rate of return that investors require to invest in a particular asset.
- Interest Rates as Discount Rates: Interest rates are used to discount future cash flows to their present value.
- Interest Rates as Opportunity Costs: Interest rates represent the opportunity cost of investing in one asset rather than another.
- Real Risk-Free Rate: The real risk-free rate is the rate of return that investors would expect to earn on a risk-free investment in a world without inflation.
- Inflation Premium: The inflation premium is the additional return that investors require to compensate for the erosion of their purchasing power due to inflation.
- Risk Premiums: Risk premiums are the additional return that investors require to compensate for bearing different types of risks.
- Maturity Premium: The maturity premium compensates investors for the increased sensitivity of the market value of debt to a change in market interest rates as maturity is extended.
Stated Annual Interest Rate (APR)
- The APR is the annual interest rate that is stated on a loan or investment.
- The APR does not account for the effects of compounding within the year.
- It is calculated as the periodic rate times the number of payment periods per year.
- APR is a term with legal connotations, and its calculation follows regulatory standards that vary internationally.
- The "stated annual interest rate" is the preferred general term for an annual interest rate that does not account for compounding within the year.
