In other words, if an investor in a two-year security earns 65 for each of two years, the investor will earn 12% over the two year period -- assuming away the affect of compounding (interest on Interest) Since we are assuming a strategy of investing in a one-year instrument followed by another one-year instrument is equal in risk to investing in a two-year instrument for two years, the average annual return of the two sequential one-year securities must also sum to 12%. Given that a one-year security currently…
