Fixed Annualized Return

Definition

A fixed annualized return is a consistent percentage gain on an investment projected over a year. This metric indicates a predetermined rate of profit an investor expects to receive from an asset or financial product over a twelve-month period, expressed as an annual percentage. Unlike variable returns, a fixed return offers predictability regarding earnings, often associated with debt instruments or certain structured finance products. It provides a clear benchmark for assessing investment performance without accounting for market volatility.
