Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)

Definition of Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)

Compounded Annual Growth Rate shows how much returns on average an investment can generate over a year, given the data for a period of time (say 5+ years).

CAGR is an indicative measure of yearly returns growth that assumes the profits are reinvested. The formula to calculate Compound Annual Growth Rate is:

CAGR = [(Ending value/Beginning Value)^(1/N)]-1

Best Efforts Underwriting/Offering

A best efforts underwriting or offering means the underwriter will do their best to market the securities for the issuer (company, supplier, etc) to investors. The underwriter will not buy all the securities from the issuer, only those the underwriter’s clients want to purchase.

Interest Coverage Ratio

Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) is used to determine the likelihood of a company’s ability to pay interest on existing outstanding debt. A low ICR typically indicates that a company is less likely to pay interest.

In fact, it indicates that the company may be heading towards bankruptcy. A higher ICR means that a company’s financial health is solid and more than likely to pay interest on existing outstanding debt.

Adjusted Futures Price

An adjusted futures price shows the cost of purchasing, financing, and delivering the underlying assets of a futures contract.

The adjusted futures price is calculated by multiplying the price of the underlying asset by the number of units to be delivered (known as the conversion factor).

Backtesting

Backtesting means simulating trading strategies and models using historical data to understand whether they are effective.

In many ways, backtesting is considered to be an important part of crafting trading strategies that work.

If backtesting leads to positive results, then the trading strategy or model may be viable.

Cash Reserve Ratio

Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is the amount of liquid cash a bank has to deposit with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), calculated as a percentage of the total deposit of the bank. The latest Cash Reserve Ratio in India is 4.5%.

There are two important uses of CRR:

  • It acts as a reserve or collateral because banks borrow money from the RBI
  • The RBI decides the interest rate for borrowing based on the CRR

These two pointers become extremely important during high inflation as the RBI can hike interest rates with the assurance of having collateral from banks.

Equity Trading

Equity trading refers to the buying and selling of equity shares on the primary and secondary market, either through a stock exchange or over the counter. Trading equity is done in many ways.

Some equity traders square-off their positions within one trading day. This is called intraday equity trading. Others look to ride price swings across days, weeks, or months. This is known as swing equity trading.

An individual who wants to engage in equity trading will need to open a trading & demat account. The charge for opening an equity trading account varies but the process is relatively simple.
