Return on investment

The overall profit (or loss) on an investment expressed as a percentage of the total invested. For example: A person invests £5,000 in the shares of a company and some time later has received £100 in dividends with the value of the shares now £5,200. The return on investment is: (£100 + £5,200 - £5,000) /£5,000] x 100 = 6%
