FAQ
A "good" ROI depends on the risk involved and the investment type. Stock markets historically return ~7-10% annually. Real estate typically 8-12%. High-risk investments may target 20%+. Always compare to the risk-free rate (e.g., treasury bonds).
ROI is a simple total return measure. CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) accounts for compounding and shows the smoothed annualized return. CAGR is more accurate for comparing investments over different time periods.
