The steady path at 20.11% a year

The same start and end joined by equal yearly growth. It's how CAGR smooths the period, not what the investment actually did in between.

What CAGR means

CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly return that would take an investment from its starting value to its final value over the period: CAGR = (final ÷ start)1 ÷ years − 1. It smooths out the ups and downs, which makes it the fair way to compare a fund, a stock or a property held for different lengths of time. It doesn't account for money added or withdrawn in between; for SIPs, use XIRR instead.
