Customarily, the investor buy the assets they put resources into and the estimation of the benefit and loss is resolved upon the changing estimation of the bought resources. For example, an investor invests $1000 for the period of 3 months and at the end of the specified time gains 10% of the original investment i.e. $100 (total return on the investment).
