Ability to influence a system, or an environment, in a way that multiplies the outcome of one's efforts without a corresponding increase in the consumption of resources.

Example sentence(s):
  • Vipuvaikutus Vipuvaikutus on warrantin etu, koska kohde-etuus on vipuvaikutuksen verran kalliimpi kuin vastaava määrä osakkeita. Esimerkiksi jos vipuvaikutus on 4, antaa se mahdollisuuden nejä kertaa suurempaan pääoman kasvuun kuin vastaava nousu ómistettaessa kohde-etuus. Vipuvaikutusta kutsutaan myös Gearingiksi. Vipuvaikutus voidaan laskea seuraavan kaavan mukaan: Kohde-etuuden hinta / (warrantin hinta x warrantin kerroin) - Societe General Group

vipuvoima


Definition from own experience or research:
Vipuvaikutus is a correct translation, but vipuvoima is also used.

Example sentence(s):
  • Yrityksen rahoituksellinen riski kasvaa, kun taloudellinen vipuvoima nousee. Taloudellisella vipuvoimalla tarkoitetaan lainarahoitusta, jonka turvin voidaan kasvattaa myös oman pääoman tuottoa. Negatiivinen vipuvaikutus toteutuu silloin, kun koko pääoman tuotto jää alle vieraan pääoman koron. - Maa- ja elintarviketalouden tutkimuskesk  
  • Vipuvoimaa EU:lta EU-raha antaa vipuvoimaa, jonka avulla suomalaisten ideat voidaan muuttaa käytännön kehittämishankkeiksi. Rahasummaa suurempi hyöty, vipuvoima, saadaan uusista toimintamalleista ja osaamisesta, jota hankkeet luovat. - EU Rakennerahasto

Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Heli Hägg (X): 'Vipuvaikutus' often refers to stock exchange trading, while 'vipuvoima' may be used in a wider range of contexts. 'Vipuvoima' includes the meaning 'ability to influence', matching the definition. 'Vipuvaikutus' merely refers to the influence.
