capital growth
Investment value increase
Capital growth is the increase in value of an asset over time—stocks, real estate, or other investments.
Distinguished from income (dividends, rent, interest), capital growth represents the difference between what you paid and what something is now worth: The fund focuses on capital growth rather than dividend income.
Also called capital appreciation.
