How it's calculated
CAGR is calculated as (endPrice / startPrice)^(12/months) - 1 using adjusted close prices (dividends reinvested). Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of monthly log-returns (σ × √12). Sharpe ratio approximates (CAGR - riskFreeRate) / σ with a 4.5% risk-free rate assumption. Data source: Yahoo Finance.
