Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a good ROI?

A "good" ROI depends on risk and time. The broad stock market historically delivers an average annual ROI of 8–10%. Real estate syndications often target 12–15% IRR, while high-risk startups or venture investments look for 25%+ to compensate for risk.

Why is Annualized ROI (CAGR) more useful than Total ROI?

A 100% total return sounds high, but if it takes 15 years to achieve, the annual return is only about 4.7%. Annualizing the return enables an apples-to-apples comparison against alternative risk-free Treasury yields or index funds.
