Total return vs. annualized (CAGR)
Total return is the raw percentage gain from start to finish. Annualized return (CAGR) smooths that gain into an equivalent yearly rate so you can compare investments of different durations fairly. A 50% total return over 3 years is roughly 14.5% per year; over 10 years it's only 4.1%.
