Calculate CAGR to compare investments across different time periods fairly
CAGR
Total Gain
Total Return %
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the single most important metric for comparing investments. Unlike "average return" which misleads, CAGR accounts for compounding over the entire period. If you earned 50% in year 1 and -20% in year 2, simple average is 15%, but CAGR is actually ~22%—the correct annualized rate that converts starting value to ending value. CAGR allows apples-to-apples comparison: a fund returning 20% over 2 years (CAGR 9.5%) is less impressive than 15% over 3 years (CAGR 4.8%). In India's complex investment landscape with diverse asset classes (equity, debt, gold, real estate), CAGR is the universal comparison tool. SEBI mandates CAGR display for all mutual funds. Professional investors, wealth managers, and savvy retail investors obsess over CAGR because it's the truest measure of compounding power.
