- When data consist of percentages, ratios, compounded growth rates, or other rates of change, the geometric mean is a useful measure of central tendency. For n data values, the geometric mean, assuming all data values are positive, is as follows. To find the average growth factor over 5 years of an investment in a mutual fund with growth rates of 8.7% the first year, 11.5% the second year, 15.2% the third year, 3% the fourth year, and 7.1% the fifth year, take the geometric mean of 1.087, 1.115, 1.152, 1.03, and 1.071. Find the average growth factor of this investment.
