Frequently asked questions
CAGR vs average growth?
CAGR compounds, so it reflects the actual path of money. A simple average of yearly percentages overstates volatile returns.
Can CAGR be negative?
Yes. If the ending value is lower than the start, CAGR is negative and shows the average yearly decline.
