How it works
- CAGR = ((Final ÷ Initial)^(1/years) − 1) × 100.
- It smooths returns into one constant annual rate — actual year-to-year returns will vary.
- Use it to compare mutual funds, stocks or any asset held for different durations.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good CAGR?
Context matters: Indian large-cap equity has averaged ~11–13% over long periods, fixed income ~6–8%. Compare against a relevant benchmark for the same period.
CAGR vs absolute return?
Absolute return ignores time. CAGR annualizes growth, so a 50% gain over 2 years (~22.5% CAGR) can be compared fairly with 30% over 1 year.
