Frequently Asked Questions
Why is CAGR better than simple returns?
CAGR accounts for compound growth over time, smoothing out yearly volatility and providing a uniform annual metric to compare performance across different assets.
Does CAGR represent actual annual market returns?
No, CAGR is a geometric progression ratio. It indicates the steady rate at which an investment would have grown if it grew at a constant rate, rather than actual fluctuating yearly returns.
