Internal Rate Of Return
Definition of Internal Rate Of Return
Internal Rate Of Return (IRR) is used to measure the compound annual return generated by a financial asset. IRR is a tool in Discounted Cash Flow financial analysis that operates by bringing the Net Present Value (NPV) of cash flow to zero. That’s why IRR can be used to compare a variety of financial assets from the equity market or bond market to real estate.

Interest Rate Futures
Interest rate futures are derivative contracts whose underlying instrument is any instrument that bears interest.
Just like any other futures contract, interest rate futures also give the right and obligation to fulfil the terms of the contract on expiry.
The price of interest rate futures and the interest rate itself shares an inverse relationship. If interest rates move higher, then the futures will be less valuable.

Free Cash Flow
In accounting and earnings reports, free cash flow refers to the amount of money a company has after paying its maintenance expenses, salaries, utility expenses, and other operating expenses as well as capital expenditures.
The formula to calculate free cash flow: Operating Cash Flow − Capital Expenditures
Free cash flow is an important metric, especially for investors because it is a direct indicator of the financial competence of a company. For example, the amount of FCF a company has can decide whether it has enough cash to offer dividends, expand business, buy back shares, etc.

Defensive Stock
A defensive stock refers to the shares of iconic companies that generate stable and consistent returns and dividends, regardless of the market conditions.
Defensive stocks are rare because companies that have defense against every market condition are rare.
While defensive stocks may not generate high returns, they are known to add stability and defense against declining economic conditions. In India, stock of ITC Limited is an example of a defensive stock.
