How to grow wealth with regular savings and the power of compounding?

When you invest $10,000 at a 10% growth rate, it will grow to $16,100 or 1.6 times in 5 years. In 10 years, it will grow to $25,930 or almost 2.6 times.

Imagine by how much it will grow in 25 years?

It will grow to become $93,130 or 9.3 times, just by keeping the money invested and reinvesting the profit/interest. 

This is the Power of Compounding. 

“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn’t … pays it.”― Albert Einstein

Your success as an investor is a product of two essential ingredients

• The rate of return 
• the length of time you remain invested.

Of late, investors are more focused on the rate of return and much less on the length of the investment. Little do they realize that the magic of compounding needs both these factors to work in tandem when looking to create long-term wealth.

So while looking to get better returns on your investment, you should also remain invested for a longer horizon to get the maximum benefit of the magic of compounding. 

Bank Deposits vs The Stock Market/Mutual Funds

Unlike in the past, the bank rates are not so rewarding; hence, investors are now considering mutual funds, ETFs, and stock market investment to grow wealth. 

Also, unlike bank returns, Mutual funds or market-linked assets can be volatile with potential risk to capital invested. Hence it is crucial to ascertain your investment horizon and the ideal risk-reward balance to build a robust investment portfolio. 

Regular Savings or Systematic Investment Plan

As the Magic of Compounding, the systematic investment approach is equally powerful in helping you accumulate capital, grow wealth and mitigate market risks. 

Benefits of Regular Savings or Systematic Investment Plan
