Capital gains can significantly boost your investment returns because they represent the profit you make when an asset increases in value and you sell it. For example, if you buy a stock for $1,000 and sell it for $1,300, the $300 gain increases your overall return. Just keep in mind that taxes on capital gains can reduce the amount you actually keep.
