APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield, which represents how much interest you would earn on an amount of money held for an entire year if the rate would remain constant.
The APY allows you to compare the rates of different accounts regardless of when and how they pay interest. For example, if you deposited €10,000 into a money market fund with an APY of 3%, this would mean you would have €10,001.64 on day 3, whilst earning interest on interest.
Day 1: €10,000
Day 2: €10,000 + (€10,000 X 3%/365) = €10,000.82
Day 3: €10,000.82 + (€10,000.82 X 3%/365) = €10,001.64
The APY of each currency fund changes on a daily basis.
The rate can go up or down depending on market conditions, rates tend to track central banks’ rates so for example if the European Central Bank increases rates, the APY for EUR of the Money Market fund would also increase.
