Frequently asked questions

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the interest that has already been added, so the amount grows faster than with simple interest over time.

How does compounding frequency affect returns?

The more frequently interest is compounded (yearly, quarterly, monthly), the faster the total amount grows, since interest gets added to the principal sooner and starts earning its own interest.

Is compound interest always better for investments?

For growing your savings, yes. But the same principle works against you on debt like credit cards, where compound interest increases what you owe.
