• ANNUALIZED GAIN
  
  In a portfolio, this calculation converts the price gain or loss of a security held for more than one year into a compound annualized gain. Annualized gains offer investors a way to compare holdings that have been owned for different lengths of time. The calculation factors in the commission paid to purchase securities, but does not include the reinvestment of dividends.
