Why CAGR Matters in Stock Markets

Stock markets fluctuate from year to year. CAGR smooths out this volatility to give you the true annualized return rate of your stock or index fund portfolio over any time period.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is CAGR better than Absolute Return?

Absolute return ignores the time value of money. An absolute return of 100% sounds great, but if it takes 15 years to achieve, it corresponds to a modest CAGR of only ~4.7%. CAGR normalizes growth per year.

How do I calculate CAGR online?

Enter your initial purchase value, final sale value, and holding tenure in years into the CAGR calculator to see your annualized returns.
