What Is CAGR?

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) measures the average annual growth rate of an investment over a specific period of time.

Unlike simple ROI, CAGR takes time into account and shows the yearly growth rate required to reach the final value from the starting value.

Investors commonly use CAGR to compare stocks, ETFs, real estate investments, businesses, and portfolio performance.
