Simple avg = Σ returns / n years; CAGR = (End value / Start value)^(1/years) − 1
r
Annual return (%)
CAGR
Compound Annual Growth Rate (%)
n
Number of years

Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung

  1. 1Simple average: sum of annual returns / number of years
  2. 2CAGR: (End value / Start value)^(1/years) − 1
  3. 3CAGR is more accurate for measuring true investment growth
  4. 4Arithmetic mean overstates returns when there is volatility
