  Assuming a 1.25 percent daily increase in a portfolio, what would the rate of return be annually.
 What is the excell formula to figure this.  Anyone.
 
 Thanks

  This seems like a mixing of apples and oranges to get a lemon.
 
 This would be an "annual" compounded interest rate of 14.9% based on 250 trading days
 Assuming $100,000 at start of year with 1.25% daily compounded increase, future value is $222,700 (+123%)
 
 =100000*((1+((14.9/100)/250))^(250*(250/12)))

  Welcome, but I think I just noticed an error in the formula......

  This is better:
 
 Assuming $100,000 at start of year with 1.25% daily compounded increase, future value is $2,221,331 (+2132%) 
 
 =100000*((1+((312/100)/250))^(250*(250/250)))
 
 The 312 is divided by 250 to get 1.25%
 I know this formula could be reduced, but I hacked one of my other formulas.
 This is basic time value of money (TVM).

  For future reference
 
 The formula for compounding : FV = PV * (1 + r) ^ t
 
 PV= present value; r = interest rate ; t = time
 
 so assuming r = .0125 and t = 250
 
 $1 will grow to $22.32 in one year (250 trading days at 1.25% per day)
 
 formula in excel =1*(1 +.0125)^250

  More better might be:
 
 r = interest rate per period
 
 t = periods
