Frequently asked questions
What is the CAGR formula?
CAGR = (end ÷ start)^(1 ÷ years) − 1. It is the constant annual rate that would grow the start value to the end value over that many years.
Is CAGR the same as average return?
No. CAGR ignores path volatility — it is a smoothed rate between two points. Real year-by-year returns can swing around that line.
