Compound Interest

Compound interest is “interest-on-interest”, or the ability of a financial instrument to generate earnings on its earnings. Compound interest, can be calculated using the formula FV = P*(1+R/N)^(N*T), where FV is the future value of the loan or investment, P is the initial principal amount, R is the annual interest rate, N represents the number of times interest is compounded per year, and T represents time in years.

For example, a $100 investment today with a 5.0% interest rate compounding annually for three years equals $115.76 ($100*(1+.05/1)^(1*3). Note that compound interest produces a higher end result than simple interest. Using the same example, a simple interest calculation would only result in a value of $115.00 ($100*(1+.05*3). This effect is also known as compounding, and the more frequent the rate of compounding, the greater the end result.

Alternative investments have higher fees than traditional investments and they may also be highly leveraged and engage in speculative investment techniques, which can magnify the potential for investment loss or gain and should not be deemed a complete investment program.
