expected rate of return

   Also found in: Acronyms 0.07 sec.
expected rate of return
The rate of return expected on an asset or a portfolio. The expected rate of return on a single asset is equal to the sum of each possible rate of return multiplied by the respective probability of earning on each return. For example, if a security has a 20% probability of providing a 10% rate of return, a 50% probability of providing a 12% rate of return, and a 25% probability of providing a 14% rate of return, the expected rate of return is (.20)(10%) + (.50)(12%) + (.25)(14%), or 12%.
