Frequently Asked Questions
What is CAGR?
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) represents the smoothed annual growth rate of an investment over a period, assuming profits are reinvested each year.
How is CAGR different from total return?
Total return shows the overall percentage gain, while CAGR normalizes that gain into an annual rate, making it easier to compare investments held for different time periods.
Why is CAGR useful for comparing investments?
CAGR allows apples-to-apples comparison between investments with different holding periods, showing which one truly grew faster on an annualized basis.
