Most people get confused when investing. They tend to intertwine between investments for capital appreciation and liquidity purposes.

We can simply identify your financial goals by knowing your financial objectives:

1. Capital Appreciation: It is distinguished by the increase in the price or value of the asset. If you are an investor, most of the time, your objective is capital appreciation. You can measure asset appreciation by computing the difference between the current price and its purchase price. Capital appreciation is unrealized earnings and relies mostly on changes in capital.

2. Capital Gain: It is said to be capital gains when you realize the earnings. Most investments rely on the appreciation of capital value such as stocks, real estate, etc.

Capital Appreciation Vs. Capital Gains

To simplify the terms, Appreciation turns to gains when you liquidate your investment and realize your gains. There is no tax in capital appreciation, you are only taxed on capital gains.

Tax planning during liquidation: You must plan the liquidation of your assets especially if you are liquidating a significant amount/ value. Unplanned liquidation may affect your profitability. Your SJP Wealth Manager can help you during this process.

3. Fixed Income: It can be described as a type of investment that continuously distributes fixed interest or dividend payment until maturity. The most famous fixed-income investments are bonds and government securities.
