Understanding Investment Returns

Investment returns measure how much your money has grown over a period. Two key metrics are:

  • Total Return — The overall gain or loss expressed as a percentage
  • CAGR — Compound Annual Growth Rate, the smoothed annual return that accounts for compounding

Why CAGR Matters

CAGR provides a better comparison between investments of different durations. A 50% total return over 10 years is very different from 50% over 2 years — CAGR reveals this difference.
