What is the power of compounding?

The power of compounding is often referred as the 8th wonder of the world. Compounding is the process in which an asset's earnings, from either capital gains or interest, are reinvested to generate additional earnings over time. This growth, calculated using exponential functions, occurs because the investment will generate earnings from both its initial principal and the accumulated earnings from preceding periods. Compounding, therefore, differs from linear growth, where only the principal earns interest each period.

We at BFS will help harness this power of compounding so that your money can work harder for you.
