What was the rate of return to an investor in the fund?

10%

Explanation:

To calculate the Rate of Return it's necessary to find the variation of the Net Assets Value during the year plus the distributions of income, the result of this it's divided by the Start of Year Net Asset Value.

Rate of Return = (Var NAV + Distributions) / Start of Year NAV

Rate of Return =

($13,2 - $14,0) = - $0,80

+ Distributions = $2,2 /

Start of Year NAV = $14,0

Rate of Return = (-$0,80 + $ 2,2) / $14,0 = 10%
