Introduction
Have you ever wondered if your investment is worth the risk? Enter the financial superhero: RAROC (Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital)! It’s not a comic book hero, but it does rescue you from the doom of uncertain investments.
In the whimsical world of finance, RAROC is a metric that balances the force of return with the dark side of risk! 🦸🦹
Arithmancy of RAROC
To cast the spell of RAROC, you don’t need a wand, but just this magic formula:

"Return" : 50
"Risk-Weighted Assets" : 50
Formula Unmasked
If $
\text{RAROC} = \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Equity at Risk}} \times 100$
Then,
You receive a percentage which makes Harry Potter’s Invisibility Cloak look like mere cloth.
Spellbinding Example
Imagine Alice invests $1000 in Wonderland Enterprises. Wonderland has a genius plan, sure, but there’s the mad hatter risky stunts too!
Alice grumbles (pardon her tea party manners…)
- Net income = $200
- Equity at Risk (Mad Hatter Tricks) = $800
RAROC Calculation:
graph LR
A[Net Income] -->|200| B(RAROC)
B -->|25%| C[Equity at Risk]
So, Alice receives a RAROC = 25% which is quite a merry number at any time of day!
