Glossary:

Balance sheet - A financial statement that summarises a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a particular point in time. Each segment gives investors an idea as to what the company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by shareholders. It is called a balance sheet because of the accounting equation: assets = liabilities + shareholders’ equity.

Disinflation - A decrease in the price of goods and services across the economy, usually indicating that the economy is weakening. It differs from ‘disinflation’, which implies a decrease in the level of inflation. Deflation is the opposite of inflation.

Dividend - A variable discretionary payment made by a company to its shareholders.

NAV - The total value of a fund's (or company’s) assets less its liabilities.

Net assets - Total assets minus any liabilities such as bank loans or creditors.

P/E Ratio - A popular ratio used to value a company's shares, compared to other stocks, or a benchmark index. It is calculated by dividing the current share price by its earnings per share.

Share Buybacks - Where a company buys back their own shares from the market, thereby reducing the number of shares in circulation, with a consequent increase in the value of each remaining share. It increases the stake that existing shareholders have in the company, including the amount due from any future dividend payments. It typically signals the company's optimism about the future and a possible undervaluation of the company’s equity.

Yield - The level of income on a security over a set period, typically expressed as a percentage rate. For equities, a common measure is the dividend yield, which divides recent dividend payments for each share by the share price. For a bond, this is calculated as the coupon payment divided by the current bond price. For investment trusts: Calculated by dividing the current financial year's dividends per share (this will include prospective dividends) by the current price per share, then multiplying by 100 to arrive at a percentage figure.
