CAGR questions

How is CAGR different from an average return?

CAGR includes compounding and is the constant annual rate connecting the starting and ending values. It can differ from the arithmetic average of yearly returns.

Can CAGR show a loss?

Yes. If the ending value is lower than the starting value, CAGR and total return are negative.

What if I made additional investments?

CAGR alone cannot separate performance from contributions or withdrawals. Use a cash-flow-aware return measure instead.
