Gains, or gain
Definition
Gains, sometimes called capital gains, refer to the profits or returns earned from an investment, such as from owning shares, bonds or real estate. When an investment increases in value, it generates gains for the investor. These can come from dividends, compounding growth, or selling an asset at a higher price than its original cost. Gains are a key goal for investors seeking to grow their wealth over time.
