Profit
Profit is the difference between the amount you receive and the amount you invested, before considering any additional costs or taxes.
Absolute return
Absolute return expresses the gain or loss as a percentage of the invested amount. It does not account for how long the money was invested.
Annualized return
Annualized return converts a result over a period into an annualized figure. This makes it easier to compare investments held for different lengths of time, although the calculation is still based on historical or assumed values.
Example
If ₹1,00,000 becomes ₹1,21,000, the profit is ₹21,000 and the absolute return is 21%. If the investment took several years, the annualized return would be lower than 21%.
