Understanding Investment Growth

Investment Fundamentals

  • Compound Interest: Interest earned on both principal and previously earned interest
  • Time Value: Money invested today is worth more than money invested later
  • Dollar Cost Averaging: Regular contributions can reduce impact of market volatility
  • Risk vs Return: Higher potential returns typically come with higher risk
  • Diversification: Spreading investments reduces overall portfolio risk

Investment Tips

  • Start investing early to maximize compound growth
  • Consistently contribute, even small amounts add up
  • Consider tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k) and IRA
  • Review and rebalance your portfolio annually
  • Don't try to time the market - stay invested for the long term
