Quick answers
What does CAGR mean?
CAGR means compound annual growth rate. It converts total growth from starting value to ending value into a smoothed annualized rate.
How is CAGR calculated?
CAGR is calculated as (ending value / starting value) raised to 1 divided by years, minus 1.
When should I use CAGR?
Use CAGR when you know starting value, ending value, and duration, and want a simple annualized growth rate.
When should I use XIRR instead of CAGR?
Use XIRR when there are multiple investments or withdrawals on different dates. CAGR does not account for irregular cash flows.
Does CAGR show investment volatility?
No. CAGR smooths the journey into one annual rate and does not show year-by-year ups and downs.
