What is Compounding?
A simple explanation for Indian investors — Wealth Simplified.
Quick Answer
Compounding is when returns themselves start earning returns over time, so growth can accelerate if invested long enough.
Simple Explanation
Your money can work on both the original amount and earlier gains.
How It Works
Each period's growth is calculated on a larger base when gains stay invested.
Why It Matters
Time is a major ingredient in long-term wealth conversations.
Simple Example
Leaving mutual fund investments invested for many years allows compounding to play a larger role — subject to market risk.
Common Misconception
Compounding is not automatic profit; negative years reduce the base too.
