Why We Use CAGR, Not Simple Average
- CAGR
- (End ÷ Start)^(1/n) − 1 = 5.76%
- Simple Average
- (Gain ÷ Years) ÷ Cost = 7.50%
CAGR is the preferred measure because it reflects the true compounding effect of holding an asset over time. Simple average inflates the apparent annual return, especially over longer periods.
