• Nominal interest rate (rn):
• Growth rate of money
• Real interest rate (rr):
• Growth rate of purchasing power
rn − i
rr = rr rn − i
1+ i
Where i is the rate of inflation

• As the inflation rate increases, investors will demand
higher nominal rates of return
• If E(i) denotes current expectations of inflation, then we get
the Fisher Equation:
rn = rr + E ( i )

HPR =
P0
HPR = Holding period return
P0 = Beginning price
P1 = Ending price
D1 = Dividend during period one
