What is CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate)?
CAGR is the average annual growth rate of an investment over a period, assuming profits are reinvested. It smooths out market volatility and shows consistent growth rate, making comparisons easier.
How is CAGR different from average returns?
CAGR accounts for compounding effect, while average returns are simple arithmetic mean. CAGR provides a more accurate picture of investment performance over multiple years.
Why is CAGR important for investors?
CAGR helps compare investments across different time periods and asset classes. It neutralizes the effect of intermediate volatility, showing consistent growth trajectory and helping make informed investment decisions.
Can CAGR be negative?
Yes, CAGR can be negative if your final value is less than initial investment, indicating losses. Negative CAGR shows the average annual decline in investment value over the period.
How do I use CAGR to evaluate mutual funds?
Compare CAGR of different mutual funds over same time periods to evaluate performance. Look at 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year CAGRs. Higher CAGR generally indicates better performance, but also consider risk.
What's a good CAGR for different investments?
Equity mutual funds: 12-18%, Balanced funds: 8-12%, Debt funds: 5-8%, Fixed deposits: 5-7%. These are historical averages. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
