financial return

Financial return is the profit or gain someone earns from an investment over a certain period. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the original amount invested. For example, if you invest $1,000 and after a year, it grows to $1,100, your return is $100, or 10%. Returns can come from interest, dividends, or appreciation in the value of assets. They help investors measure how well their investments are performing and are key to comparing different investment options to achieve financial goals.
