Doc purchased shares of the MedTech Fund at its net asset value of $9.66 a share at the beginning of the year. The fund distributed dividends of $0.12 a share and capital gains of $0.10 a share during the year.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The fund's beginning NAV was $9.66, its ending NAV was $12.00, and its distributions during the year totaled $0.22 a share, so the total return on the MedTech Fund over this period was 26.5%. Total return can be calculated as:

[(ending NAV + distributions) - beginning NAV]/beginning NAV = [($12.00 + $0.22) -$9.66]/$9.66 = 26.5%.

This is an easy one! The fund made a killing this year. B) 26.5% all the way. (Though I wish I had invested in it earlier!)

A) 21.3% is tempting, but it doesn't account for the dividends and capital gains. I'll have to go with B) 26.5%.

So, the net asset value at the end of the year plus the distributions divided by the initial net asset value gives us the total return.

I think B) 26.5% is the correct answer because it takes into account the dividends and capital gains.

I agree with Willie, the capital gains and dividends increase the total return.

D) 10.1% seems too low. The net asset value increase alone would be more than that. I'll go with C) 25.5%.

I think the answer is B) 26.5%. The increase in net asset value plus the dividends and capital gains add up to a 26.5% return.
