return / yield
The return or profit that an investment generates over a certain period, usually expressed as a percentage of the invested capital.
Die Rendite seiner Aktien war in diesem Jahr mit über acht Prozent sehr erfreulich.
The return on his stocks was very pleasing this year, at over eight percent.
'Die Rendite' (the return/yield) is a central term in the world of finance and business. It is used when talking about investments such as stocks, funds, or real estate.
Bevor man investiert, sollte man die erwartete Rendite und das Risiko abwägen.
Before investing, you should weigh the expected return and the risk.
Certain verbs are often used in connection with 'Rendite' (return/yield). You can 'erzielen' (achieve), 'erwirtschaften' (generate), or an investment can 'abwerfen' (yield) a return.
Mit dieser Geldanlage lässt sich eine gute Rendite erzielen.
A good return can be achieved with this investment.
The amount of the return is usually expressed with the preposition 'von' (of) and a percentage. The structure is: 'eine Rendite von X Prozent' (a return of X percent).
Das Unternehmen verspricht eine Rendite von mindestens sechs Prozent.
The company promises a return of at least six percent.
profit / prize
'der Gewinn' and 'die Rendite' can both have to do with money that you get from an investment or a business. 'Gewinn' usually names the amount that remains after costs. 'Rendite' is used especially for financial investments and is often given as a percentage. The words can be confused because a good return can also lead to a profit. When talking about a company or a sale, 'Gewinn' often fits better. When evaluating the performance of an investment, 'Rendite' is more precise.
Die Rendite der Anlage liegt in diesem Jahr bei drei Prozent.
The return on the investment is three percent this year.
