Return
Return is the gain (or loss) on an investment, expressed as a percentage of the capital invested.
If you invest €1,000 and after a year you have €1,080, the return is 8%. To compare different investments it's best to look at returns over equal periods, net of costs and taking into account the risk taken to achieve them.
💡 In Fanta-Trade's weekly leaderboard what counts is the percentage return from Monday to Sunday; in the overall leaderboard, the return since sign-up compared with the initial €100,000.00.
