Investment Returns

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) represents the mean annual growth rate of an investment over a specified period of time longer than one year.
Current Yield
Current yield is a measure of the annual income (interest or dividends) of an investment compared to its current price. It's a useful metric for investors looking to understand the income-generating potential of their investments over a short-term period.
Safe Rate
The safe rate is an interest rate offered by relatively low-risk investments such as high-grade bonds or well-secured first mortgages. It is often used as a benchmark for other rates of return to compare the risk and safety of various investment options.
Yield to Maturity (YTM)
Yield to Maturity (YTM) is the internal rate of return on an investment, considering all inflows and outflows of investment returns and their timing, providing a comprehensive view of the investment's profitability.
