Explanation:

Capital appreciation is the rise in the value of an asset over time. It is not about the ability to profit from stock - which could include dividends etc., nor is it about earnings distribution (dividends) or profitable share - sale (which may involve other factors like timing). It simply refers to the increase in an asset's value.

the increased value of an asset.
