Frequently Asked Questions
Why use exact dates instead of only whole years?
Investments are often held for partial years. Exact dates make the annualisation more precise than forcing a 3.4-year holding period into either three or four years.
What is a good CAGR?
There is no universal good CAGR. It depends on asset class, risk, taxes, inflation, fees and the period measured. Compare against an appropriate benchmark rather than a fixed return claim.
What is real CAGR?
Real CAGR adjusts nominal annualised growth for inflation using the compounded relationship, giving a better indication of purchasing-power growth.
Is CAGR the same as XIRR?
No. CAGR uses one beginning and one ending value. XIRR is designed for multiple dated cash flows such as SIPs, top-ups and withdrawals.
