Explanation:

To calculate the rate of return the investors received we will do a simple return formula to find out by how much, in terms of the Opening NAV, the fund has increased.

To find out how much the fund has increased by we can add up all the figures then deduct the opening balance.

= 39.71 + 0.64 + 1.13 - 36.12

= $5.36

$5.36 is the how much the fund has increased by.

Expressing it in percentage of the opening NAV per share we have,

= 5.36/36.12

= 0.14839424141

= 14.84%

14.84% is the rate of return that an investor received on the Yachtsman Fund in 2016.
