Frequently asked questions
Is APY a guaranteed return?
No. It is an annualised rate under a compounding convention. Variable rates, fees and asset prices can change the realised result.
What is the difference between APR and APY?
APR states a nominal annual rate. APY includes reinvestment at the assumed frequency; compare both using the same time period and fees.
