What is CAGR?
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the rate at which an investment would have grown if it had increased at a steady annual pace, assuming all gains were reinvested at the end of each year. It smooths out volatility to reveal the underlying trend of any series of values. CAGR does not reflect actual year-by-year returns — those may vary significantly. Instead, it answers: "what single annual rate would have taken me from the starting value to the ending value over this period?" It is the standard benchmark for comparing investments, business metrics, and financial products across different time horizons.
CAGR = (EV / BV)1/t − 1
