What is CAGR?

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) measures the average annual growth rate of an investment over a specified period longer than one year. It smooths out year-to-year volatility and gives you a single annualized return figure that represents what your investment would have earned if it grew at a steady rate every year. CAGR is widely used to compare the historical performance of stocks, mutual funds, portfolios, and business revenue.

CAGR vs Absolute Returns

  • ●Absolute return shows total percentage gain from start to end, ignoring time.
  • ●CAGR normalizes this to a per-year rate, making it comparable across different time periods.
  • ●A 100% absolute return over 5 years = 14.87% CAGR. Over 10 years = 7.18% CAGR.

When to Use CAGR

  • ●Comparing mutual fund performance across different holding periods
  • ●Evaluating business revenue or profit growth over multiple years
  • ●Setting realistic investment targets with reverse CAGR calculation
  • ●Comparing stock market index returns (Nifty 50, Sensex) over time
