Also called the expected return.Expected ReturnThe return on an investment as estimated by an asset pricing model. It is calculated by taking the average of the probability distribution of all possible returns. For example, a model might state that an investment has a 10% chance of a 100% return and a 90% chance of a 50% return. The expected return is calculated as:
Expected Return = 0.1(1) + 0.9(0.5) = 0.55 = 55%.
