HPR = 23.64%

Explanation:

The one period rate of return can be calculated as the change in per unit net assets value plus per unit capital gains and per unit capital gains

HPR = D + (NAVend - NAVbeg) + C / NAV beg

Given NAVbeg = $13.20, D = $0.7, NAVend = $14.42 C = $1.20

HPR = 0.7 + (14.42-13.20) + 1.20/13.20

=0.2364/23.64%
