Frequently asked questions

What is CAGR?

CAGR is the steady yearly growth rate that would take an investment from its starting value to its ending value over a period. It smooths out ups and downs.

What is the CAGR formula?

CAGR = (End value ÷ Start value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, shown as a percentage.

How is CAGR different from absolute return?

Absolute return is the total gain over the whole period. CAGR spreads that gain into an equal yearly rate, so you can compare investments held for different lengths of time.

Can CAGR be negative?

Yes. If the end value is lower than the start value, CAGR is negative, showing a yearly loss.

Is CAGR right for SIP investments?

Not exactly, because a SIP adds money at different times. For SIPs, XIRR is more accurate. CAGR is ideal for a single, one-time investment.
