How Asset Rankings Work
The percentage gain or loss from the start to the end of the period. It shows how much an asset would have gained or lost over that horizon.
(end price ÷ start price) − 1Compound annual growth rate annualizes the return so you can compare performance across different time spans on an equal footing.
(end/start)^(1/years) − 1Annualized standard deviation of daily returns over the last year. Higher volatility means larger price swings and typically higher risk.

The best performing assets depend on the time period. Use our ranking pages (1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years) to see which assets had the highest total return and CAGR over each horizon. Rankings are based on daily closing prices and update as new data is added.
CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is (end value ÷ start value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, expressed as a percentage. It annualizes the total return so you can compare different time periods fairly.
Rankings are rebuilt when the underlying price cache is updated (typically daily or when you run the build script). Each ranking page reflects the latest data available at build time.
Volatility measures how much an asset's price moves. We use annualized standard deviation of daily returns: higher values mean larger swings. The "most volatile" ranking shows assets with the highest 1-year volatility.
Yes. As new closing prices are added and the end date moves forward, total return and CAGR change, so the order of assets in each ranking can shift. Use the ranking pages to see the current order.
