Annual returns

Annual returns refer to the overall profit or loss generated by an investment over a one-year period, expressed as a percentage of the original investment. It considers both income received (like dividends or interest) and any growth or decrease in the asset’s value. For example, if you invested $1,000 and after a year your investment is worth $1,100, your annual return is 10%. These figures help investors assess how well their investments are performing over time, providing a clear snapshot of growth or decline within a specified year.
