Financial vocabulary

Hi there!

Some people use a phrase "back invest" meaning earning money on investments. There is not such a term in any financial dictionary, so can it be a slang phrase or it is a complete mistake?

P.S. I know that "invest back" can mean "invest in their own economy" for expats, for example. BUT does it to any extent sound like "to increase income from one's investments"?
