What is the correct pronunciation of CAGR?
My apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, but it is financing nomenclature. I didn't find this question anywhere on SE, and I have been dissatisfied with Google results.
I have heard several pronunciations of the acronym CAGR:
Rhymes with bagger
Keh-gar or cay-gar (almost like kegger)
Rhymes with jogger
It seems that regardless of pronunciation, people understand via context, but I was curious if there is a correct way.

I always hear people pronounce it to rhyme with "bagger".
Most readers probably know that an acronym is an invented word made up
of the initial letters or syllables of other words, like NASA or NATO.
Fewer probably know that an initialism is a type of acronym that
cannot be pronounced as a word, but must be read letter-by-letter,
like FBI or UCLA.
A quote from Daily Writing Tips. CAGR is an initialism, and should not be pronounced.
