Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / ionvestment fund report | | Spanish term or phrase: la rentabilidad sobre los beneficios | This is from a report on an investment fund.
I'm confident that it is "return on income" but since "rentabilidad and "beneficios" have multiple meanings, I thought I'd better check...
"La cartera está cotizando a un PER estimado de 6,7 veces, es decir que la rentabilidad sobre los beneficios es del 14.8%, y el dividendo medio se encuentra por encima del 5.6"
Many thanks, as aye. |

| | return on income | Explanation:
To my mind, return on investment is different to return on income, in that the latter is the return on income made from an investment.
It crops up in several reputable UK websites, including this one, which is a press release posted by Bradford & Bingley on the BBC's website:
Bradford & Bingley - pressrelease
Guaranteed return on income of 7% per annum or 0.54% per month. Return of capital linked to the Eurostoxx 50 index, full return guaranteed provided the ...
www.bbg.co.uk/bbg/ir/news_prs/historicnews/consumernews/pre...
Another reputable source is http://www.stocktrader.org.uk/fundamental-analysis-tools.htm...
which describes return on income as one of the profitability ratios, as follows:
". Profitability Ratios
Your main concern is to invest in a company that is profitable and has the ability to generate, sustain and grow the profits. The more profitable a firm is, the higher the stock price and more likely it will sustain bad periods.
Such ratios include return on income, return on assets, gross margin, and return on total capital."

| Grading comment Thank you all for your replies. I think that return on income is different to ROI (which is part of a set of different measures that includes IRR, as a way of calculating return).
Return on Equity is "Net Income divided by Shareholder Equity" and seems to have a number of Spanish equivalent terms with my Oxford Business Dictionary saying "rendimiento sobre el patrrimonio").
For my text, I'm confident that return on income is correct - although I'm not convinced they have used the right term in the first place - but that's another matter!
Many thanks everyone

I agree with you that usually it is. However, "rentabilidad" usually means "profitability" althouth in this structure, "sobre" means "return" and one of the translations of "beneficios" when plural is "investments" (see Orellana, Marina. Glosario internacional del traductor), so I assume that this is an alternate way of stating the same concept.

Asker: Hi Mike - thanks for that - I thought ROI was "retorno sobre la inversión" or "Rendimiento de la Inversión"...??

Explanation:
The text mentions a PER (Price/earnings ratio) of 6.7 times. This means the ratio of the equity price, or price per share of the equity, to net earnings. The text also states a return on equity of 14.8 per cent - which is the reciprocal of the price/earnings ratio.
