Absolute return vs CAGR

Absolute return is the simple total gain: from ₹1,00,000 to ₹1,50,000 is a 50% absolute return, whatever the time taken.

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the yearly rate at which the money grew. The same 50% gain over 3 years is a CAGR of about 14.5% a year. Returns above one year on this app are shown as CAGR (p.a.).
