Frequently Asked Questions
What is CAGR?
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the rate at which an investment grows from a starting value to an ending value, assuming it grows at a steady rate compounded annually. It is the most common way to compare investment performance over time.
What is a good CAGR for mutual funds in India?
Equity mutual funds in India have historically delivered 12–15% CAGR over long periods (10+ years). Large-cap funds typically deliver 10–13%, mid-cap 13–16%, and small-cap funds 15–20% over long horizons, though with higher volatility.
What is the difference between CAGR and absolute return?
Absolute return is the total percentage gain from start to end without considering time. CAGR factors in time — it is the equivalent annual rate. A 100% absolute return over 10 years = 7.18% CAGR, but the same 100% in 5 years = 14.87% CAGR.
How do I calculate CAGR manually?
CAGR = (End Value ÷ Start Value) ^ (1 ÷ Years) − 1. For example, ₹1,00,000 growing to ₹2,50,000 in 5 years: CAGR = (2.5)^(1/5) − 1 = 1.2011 − 1 = 20.11% per year.
