Return on capital
A measure of how effectively a company's management is using the capital at its disposal. Return on capital for an individual company is calculated by dividing net income for the most recent fiscal year by the most recent quarters invested capital (long-term debt plus common stock equity plus preferred equity). A fund's return on capital is calculated by averaging the return on capital of all companies whose securities are held in the fund's portfolio.
