Ex dividend and Semi-annual rate: Difference between pages

Revision as of 14:52, 19 October 2013

The semi-annual rate is the simple annual interest quotation for compounding twice a year.

For example if the semi-annual rate is quoted as 10%, then the periodic interest accruing is 5% (= 10% x 6/12) per six month period.

A semi-annual rate is an example of a nominal annual rate.

Not to be confused with the annual effective rate, which in this case would be = 1.05² - 1 = 10.25%.
