Bus/Financial - Accounting
Norwegian term or phrase: bokført avkastning
Context is a pension fund's earnings on administered funds. I've seen "booked return", "book return", and "recorded return". My instinct favors "booked return" but I'm no accountant. Preferred target is U.S. English, but I will welcome all visitors to these shores who come with references. ;-)

booked return


Explanation:
This term is at least used by translated Norwegian reports:

Value-adjusted and booked returns for the common portfolio ended at 2.1 and 2.2 per cent respectively in the first half year.

Verdijustert og bokført avkastning for kollektivporteføljen endte på henholdsvis 2,1 og 2,2 prosent i første halvår.

If this is accepted U.S. terminology, I wouldn't know.

book yield


Explanation:
"Booked return" vil kanskje forstås, men det ser ut til at det brukes mest om "planlagt returbillett", jf. flyreiser. Jeg foreslår "book yield", som er brukt en god del i finanssmh. (se linker). (Merk at både "booked" og "book" brukes litt om hverandre, særlig på amerikansk-engelsk.)

Example sentence(s):
  • Book yield is the investment income earned in a year on a portfolio of assets purchased over a number of years and at different interest rates, divided by the book value of those assets.
  • Where the yield of a security is computed using its book value rather than its market value.
