That's a 20% return for 6 months, so annualized is about 40%.

I thought the annualized return would be higher since the NAV increased so much, but I can't recall the exact calculation method.

I feel like I might be overthinking it. Is it just the percentage change multiplied by 2 for the annualized figure?

This seems similar to a practice question we did on mutual funds. I think the annualized return is around 36.64%.

I remember we calculated annualized returns in class, but I'm not sure if I got the formula right for this one.

I've got this! The annualized percentage change is calculated as (final NAV / initial NAV)^(1/t) - 1, where t is the time period in years. In this case, t = 0.5 years, so I just need to plug in the values.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the formula to use here. Is it the simple percentage change formula or do I need to factor in the time period as well?

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The initial NAV was Rs. 10 and the final NAV after 6 months was Rs. 12. I need to calculate the annualized percentage change.

This seems like a straightforward calculation of the annualized percentage change in the fund's NAV. I'll need to use the formula for annualized return.

I'm impressed by Leontine's logical approach. Seems like the correct answer is 40%, but I wonder if Demetra forgot to carry the one or something?

I'm inclined to go with option B, 36.64%. The formula for annualized percentage change can be a bit tricky, but I think I've got it right this time.

Actually, the correct answer is option D, 96%. You need to annualize the 44% by multiplying by 2, not the final result.

That gives us 0.44, which is 44%. But since we need the annualized percentage change, we need to multiply by 2 to get 88%.

That's correct! So, it would be (1.2)^(2) - 1, which equals 1.44 - 1.

I think the formula for annualized percentage change is (NAV final / NAV initial)^(1/n) - 1, where n is the number of periods. So, in this case, it would be (12/10)^(1/0.5) - 1.

Hmm, I got the same result as Leontine. 40% seems like the correct answer. Though I'm curious, did Demetra invest in a mutual fund or a crystal ball?

Okay, let me think through this step-by-step. If the NAV went from 10 to 12 in 6 months, that's a 20% increase. Annualizing that would give 40%, which is option A.

I agree with Stacey, the annualized percentage change can be calculated using the formula [(NAV final / NAV initial)^(1/n) - 1] * 100
