Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over a specified time period. It is one of the best tools for comparing investment returns across different assets (like mutual funds vs gold vs FDs) over multi-year horizons because it smooths out volatility.
No. CAGR is a representative figure. It assumes the investment grew at a constant rate, smoothing out any volatility and year-on-year fluctuations in real market conditions.
CAGR only considers the start and end values, ignoring what happens in between (interim risk or volatility). It is also not suitable for investments with periodic additions (like SIPs) where XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return) is preferred.
