How do I calculate historical investment returns?

To calculate a historical investment return, divide the final value by the starting value and subtract 1. For example, $1,000 growing to $7,000 is a 600% return (7000/1000 - 1 = 6 = 600%). Invetest does this automatically using real closing price data from Yahoo Finance for any asset and time period you choose.

Does past investment performance guarantee future results?

No. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Historical simulations on Invetest show what actually happened with real market data — they are educational tools, not investment advice. Markets can and do behave very differently in the future. Always do your own research before making any investment decision.

Can I run my own custom investment simulation on Invetest?
