A scheme's NAV grew from Rs 25.00 to Rs 36.00 over exactly 2 years, with no dividends. What is the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR)?

The CAGR is 20%. The NAV multiplied 1.44 times in two years, and the square root of 1.44 is 1.20, meaning 20% a year. Dividing the 44% total return by two gives 22%, which ignores compounding.

  4. D18.0%

Explanation

Growth multiple = 36/25 = 1.44. The square root of 1.44 is 1.20, so CAGR = 20%. A simple average of 44% over 2 years gives 22%, which ignores compounding. The 44% figure is the total two-year return.
