Investment Gains

Investment gains refer to the profits earned from an investment after the sale of an asset or the increase in value over time. This can encompass various forms of returns, such as capital gains, which occur when an asset is sold for more than its purchase price, and dividends, which are income distributed to shareholders from a corporation’s earnings. Investment gains can also include interest earned on bonds or savings accounts. These gains are often expressed as a percentage of the original investment and can be realized (when the investment is sold) or unrealized (the increase in value while still held). Understanding investment gains is essential for assessing the performance of investments and making informed financial decisions.
