Other capitalIn the balance of payments, other capital is a residual category that groups all the capital transactions that have not been included in direct investment, portfolio investment, and reserves categories. It is divided into long-term capital and short-term capital and, because of its residual status, can differ from country to country. Generally speaking, other long-term capital includes most nonnegotiable instruments of a year or more, like bank loans and mortgages. Other short-term capital includes financial assets that can be liquidated in less than a year such as currency, deposits, and bills.Other capital Similar MatchesCost of capitalCost of capitalThe required return for a capital budgeting project. Unrealized capital gain or lossUnrealized capital gain or lossAn increase/decrease in the value of a security that is not "real" because the security has not been sold. Once a security is sold by the portfolio manager, the capital gain../../finance-glossary/losses are "realized" by the fund, and any payment to the shareholder is taxable during the tax year in which the security is sold. Capital growthCapital growthIn general terms, the increase in value of an asset.As far as shares are concerned, capital growth is an increase in share price compared to what you paid, and is one of the elements of what investors called 'total return', the other component being income through dividends.Research has shown that investing in shares over the last 50 years produced a better total return than investments in bonds or deposits, and capital growth has been a major part of that superior performance. There is certainly no guarantee that shares will continue to outperform other investments, but most observers believe that they will over the long term. Investment Company with Variable CapitalInvestment Company with Variable CapitalAn open-ended collective investment vehicle, similar to a unit trust. As with unit trusts, the money invested by savers is pooled, and then invested in the markets by professional fund managers appointed by the ICVC. The advantage to savers is that by putting their savings together with savings of other individuals, they get the benefits of diversification, and also of professional fund management. The difference between an ICVC and a unit trust is that an ICVC is a company rather than a trust. If you put savings into it, you have shares, not units. Also, an ICVC has just one price, whether you are buying or selling shares in it, with charges shown separately.
