Frequently asked questions

What is CAGR?

Compound Annual Growth Rate — the constant yearly rate that would take the beginning value to the ending value over the period. It smooths out volatility into one comparable number.

Why is CAGR lower than the average of yearly returns?

Because of compounding and volatility drag. A +50% year followed by a −50% year averages 0%, but you actually lost 25% — CAGR reflects the real outcome.

Can CAGR be negative?

Yes. If the ending value is below the beginning value, the CAGR is negative — the metric shrank on average each year.
