Are you sure it's not ex ante ...

as in:

Ex ante return - the expected return or anticipated return of an asset or portfolio

Ex ante value - the forecasted rate of return

etc.?

Or is it ex-auntie? (She used to be my mother's sister; but then she had a sex change operation and now he's a chicken-freezer at Tescos.)

Peer comment(s):

agree Paula Ibbotson : Yes, I believe it is the Latin "ex ante" - expected!

exante return

exante return
The expected return of a portfolio, calculated from a proportional weighting of the expected returns of its component assets. In calculating this return, the probabilities assumed for each possible expected return must be calculated as accurately as possible in order for the exante return to be close to the actual return.

expected, forecasted

It's latin - "ex ante"

In terms of business, I would say it means an expected or forecasted outcome or result, based solely on a reference I found - below.
