Grew by a factor of2.5×
CAGR is the constant rate that would take the initial to the final value over the period — it smooths ups and downs.
How the calculation works
CAGR = (final ÷ initial)^(1/years) − 1. It shows the average yearly growth as if compounded, ignoring the volatility along the way.
Frequently asked questions
Is CAGR the same as total return?
No. CAGR is annualized; total return is the cumulative gain over the whole period.
