Market Risk Premium for September 13 - 3.52%

Time for another update of the ASX Market Risk Premium. I would assume there has been some improvement here as the ASX has increased in value.
So using our 2.5 years of daily returns of the ASX200, I calculate a capital gain p.a of 2.68%. Combined with the average dividend yield over this period of 4.64%, that gives us a market return of 7.34% (not too shabby)

Looking at the average 10 year government bond rate over the period as a proxy, we have our risk free rate being 3.82%

Which means that our market risk premium is now 3.52%
