Geometricreturn sqrt3 1 018 times 1 005 times 1 011 - 1 Geometricreturn sqrt3 13753 - 1 Geometricreturn 11121 - 1 01121 1121 That means the average return from this investment taking compounding into account is 1121. N is the total number of sub-periods for which return is available.
The general formula for the geometric mean of n numbers is the nth root of their product.
7 R a 1 r 1 1 r 2 12 1. First add 1 to each return. Using the geometric average return formula the rate is actually 595 and not 6 as stated by the arithmetic mean return method. 7 R a 1 r 1 1 r 2 12 1.
