Frequently asked questions
What is CAGR?
The compound annual growth rate is the steady yearly rate that would grow your initial value to the final value over the period. It smooths out year-to-year ups and downs.
How is CAGR different from total return?
Total return is the overall percentage gain. CAGR expresses that gain as an equivalent constant annual rate, which makes investments of different lengths comparable.
