Answer:

Capital gains is the appreciation or growth in the value of shares. A financial investor cannot earn high capital gains simply by buying companies with a demonstrated record of high profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Capital gains however can be received, when an invested buys a share at a low price and sell to another investor at a high price. In this situation the difference between the buying price and selling price, becomes the capital gains.
