Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. What does a negative ROI mean?
A negative ROI means you have lost money on the investment. For example, an ROI of -20% means you lost 20% of your initial invested capital.
Q. Why is Annualized ROI important?
Overall ROI doesn't account for time. Doubling your money (100% ROI) in 1 year is incredible, but doubling it in 20 years is slow. Annualized ROI (CAGR) breaks it down into a yearly rate so you can compare it to things like bank fixed deposits.
