Arithmetic Mean answers the question: "Over a particular number of periods, what was the return for
or what was the return for a typical year?"
Arithmetic Mean = (Sum of Values)/(Count of Values) =
When do you use Arithmetic Mean, when 1) Arithmetic Mean is always bigger than the Geomean and
estimates: Use Arithmetic Mean when you want optimistic results, or the time frame is short (cuz Geo
small). ALSO: If you know the true arithmetic mean (like all the historic returns for a stock), then use
"future wealth values. The problem of course is that we usually only have estimates.
Geometric Mean answers the question: "Over a particular number of periods, what was the average
per year?" Geometric mean tells us: "What you actually earned per year on average, compoun
Geometric Mean = [(1+R1)*(1+R2)*(1+R3)*. . . *\*(1+RT)]^(1/T)
When do you use Geometric Mean, when 1) Arithmetic Mean is always bigger than the Geomean and
estimates: Use Geometric Mean when you want pessimistic results, or the time frame is long (cuz Ari
big)."
Final Note: Short use Arithmetic (1 decade); Medium use difference between two (few decades); Lon
(many decades).

T-Bills may be considered Nominal Risk Free, but there is still a risk that
the real return could be negative. When Inflation is high, there is still risk
in the risk free rate because if inflation is higher than the T-Bill rate, you
can loose purchasing power. Default and interest rate risk are low, but
inflation risk can be high.

T-Bills may be considered Nominal Risk Free, nut there is still a risk
the real return could be negative. When Inflation is high, there is stil
in the risk free rate because if inflation is higher than the T-Bill rate,
can loose purchasing power. Default and interest rate risk are low,
inflation risk can be high.
The statement that T-bills have no risk refers to the fact that there is
an extremely small chance of the government defaulting, so there is
default risk. Since T-bills are short term, there is also very limited int
rate risk. However, as this example shows, there is inflation risk, i.e
purchasing power of the investment can actually decline over time e
the investor is earning a positive nominal return.
