Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over a specified time period.
CAGR represents the smoothed annual rate at which an investment would have grown if it had grown at a steady rate over the investment period. It is useful for comparing the returns of different assets (e.g., mutual funds vs gold vs FDs) over multiple years, smoothing out market 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.

CAGR — Compound Annual Growth Rate — is the most honest way to measure how an investment has grown over time. It smooths out volatile year-to-year swings into a single, comparable annual rate. This guide explains the formula, shows real examples, and explains why CAGR can also be misleading.
Your Estimated Due Date (EDD) can be calculated several ways — from your last menstrual period (LMP), from the date of conception, or from an early ultrasound. Each method has a different precision. This guide explains Naegele's Rule, LMP calculation, and what Indian doctors typically use.
A BMI of 25 is "overweight" for a Western adult, but research shows South Asians carry significantly more body fat at the same BMI — and face higher metabolic risk. The WHO recognises lower BMI thresholds for Asians. Here is what the research says and why it matters.
