The global investment landscape was disrupted by rising bond yields, as investors contemplated a scaling back of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program.

There are a number of different methods of calculating investment return, depending on what you’re trying to measure. Perhaps the most basic is total return, which is simply an investment’s ending balance expressed as a percent of its beginning balance.
