Basic personal finance math

One thing that discourages most people from starting their personal finance journeys is that they get intimidated by all the numbers. That's a travesty because most of the math you need to know about personal finance is straightforward. In this video, Karthik, explains how to measure mutual fund returns and the time value of money. By the end of this video, you will be relieved that this isn't all that complicated and be a little more confident.

    The CAGR calculation formula is incorrect, please correct it to [(Ending value - Starting value)^(365/number of days)]-1. The values are swapped while subsitution in ending value and starting value for CAGR. For the stock B example in CAGR, which has a time period of 791 days, 364 days is substituted wrongly. Please consider correcting these in the video

    The CAGR formula shown in the video is incorrect @4:17, 1 should come outside the index, i.e. [(Ending value/Beginning value)^(365/ number of days)-1] . The CAGR will come to around 16.047%. Its just a small correction Also the starting and ending value are swapped in the formula. Consider rectifying in the video! Good initiative Zerodha Varsity

    The need to do complex math is RARELY the reason. We have strong biases. We still think Real estate and Gold are better avenues than the stock market and mutual funds. The land value of my house in Bangalore grew from 7 lakhs in 2004 to 90 lakhs in 2014. But it still stays the same in 2023. I cannot convince any of my relatives that real estate as an investment avenue is really bad for most of us. People only think of the boom period of real estate and think that is the best to grow wealth.

    Hi Karthik (Zerodha Varsity), I found some mistakes in CAGR formulas mentioned by you is [Ending Value/Initial Value]^[365/No. of day - 1] but correct CAGR formula = [Ending Value/Initial Value]^[365/No. of day] - 1. You have mentioned No. of daya in example of Investment A & B both 364 which is wrong. A is investment is for one year but B is more than 2 years. And also there is mistake in Present Value of Money formula: You have mentioned [Amount /(1+ Discount Rate)]^Time but correct formula = [Amount /(1+ Discount Rate)^Time].
