The Investors Centre: Global Investment Knowledge Base

An investment center is a business segment that evaluates its performance not by its profits or costs but by the return it earns on the capital it has invested in assets. This concept is useful in departments that must manage their capital investments or working capital more carefully than a profit center because it allows managers to monitor how much a department can increase its revenues without increasing expenses.

Independent brokerage firms with a large number of branch offices and a widespread sales force are often described as investment centers because they may have significant amounts of working capital and fixed assets that must be managed more effectively than a typical business unit. This distinction is especially relevant for small businesses and emerging growth companies as they move into more complex business models.
