Risk Adjusted Return on Capital

A measure of the profitability of an investment or business after accounting for its risk. This can help inform one's investment decisions. It is calculated as follows:

RAROC = ( revenue - expenses - expected loss + income from capital invested ) / capital

It should be noted that an investment's RAROC has become a less common measure than the risk adjusted return on risk adjusted capital (RARORAC).
