The rate of return ''per annum'' named or quoted in a market, under the quoting convention for the given market.


Binomial models assume that there are only two possible outcomes, each time a trial is run.
For example, a fixed percentage jump up or jump down in a market price per short time interval.


Market quotations are usually given per annum, and for this reason the term ''nominal rate'' is often used interchangeably with nominal annual rate.


A binomial tree or binomial lattice can then be built up from a series of binomial outcomes, to model market prices over longer time periods.


Similar modelling can also be applied to non-financial variables.
'''Example'''
 
GBP overnight interest payable at the periodic rate of 0.014% per day, would conventionally be quoted on a nominal annual basis as:
 
= 365 x 0.014%
 
= 5.11%.
 
 
Not to be confused with the effective annual rate.

The rate of return per annum named or quoted in a market, under the quoting convention for the given market.


Market quotations are usually given per annum, and for this reason the term nominal rate is often used interchangeably with nominal annual rate.


Example

GBP overnight interest payable at the periodic rate of 0.014% per day, would conventionally be quoted on a nominal annual basis as:

= 365 x 0.014%

= 5.11%.


Not to be confused with the effective annual rate.

Sometimes also known as market rate or nominal rate.
