What Is Capital Gain?

Neeta Shah 

'Capital Gain'  An increase in the value of a capital asset (investment or real  estate) that gives it a higher worth than the purchase price.  The gain is not realized until the asset is sold. A capital gain  may be short term (one year or less) or long term (more than  one year) and must be claimed on income taxes. A capital  loss is incurred when there is a decrease in the capital asset  value compared to an asset's purchase price. Profit that results when the price of a security held by a  mutual fund rises above its purchase price and the security is  sold (realized gain). If the security continues to be held, the  gain is unrealized. A capital loss would occur when the  opposite takes place.
