return on members' assets Explanation: Whenever I've come across "sociétaires", it has been in relation to "mutual" companies of some type or other (usually banks or insurers). I therefore suspect this is also the case here. (You may, of course, decide to go with "unitholders" if you feel it effectively conveys the same meaning in context and using "members" doesn't add anything useful.) I'm struggling to see why you would treat "avoirs" as anything other than "assets". ROE is often a published accounting item, whereas "rendement sur avoirs" may well just be referring to the gross returns generated by the company/organisation on its members'/unitholders' funds. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2009-12-09 16:07:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Return on capital" looks quite promising: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&q="income trust", "... |

return on unitholders equity Explanation: Hi John! I don't see a problem with this - IMO more important is the income trust aspect than the utility/regulatory aspect (but I could be wrong). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2009-12-09 16:10:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Is it electricity?
