Definition of "Opportunity cost"
Edward "Ed" Rowles, Real Estate Agent
Coldwell Banker Preferred Wilmington
Value of a foregone opportunity, one rejected in favor of a presumably better opportunity. For example, investment of a sum into a mutual fund instead of a variable annuity with a comparable equities portfolio, thereby foregoing the tax deferred advantages of the investment build-up under the variable annuity.
