Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions about compound interest investing
What is compound interest and why is it called the eighth wonder of the world?
Compound interest is when you earn interest not only on your principal investment, but also on the interest that investment has already earned. Einstein once said 'Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it.' The power of compounding lies in the fact that the longer the time, the more significant the effect. For example, investing $1000 monthly at 8% annual return: after 10 years you'll have about $184k, after 20 years about $590k, after 30 years about $1.49M.
How does the AI calculator work and what advantages does it have over traditional calculators?
The AI calculator uses natural language processing to understand your investment needs and automatically extracts key parameters to generate investment plans. Compared to traditional calculators, AI calculators are smarter: 1) Support natural language input like 'I want to save $1M in 10 years'; 2) Can reverse calculate, such as calculating required monthly investment based on target amount; 3) Provide personalized investment advice and risk warnings; 4) Consider multiple investment scenarios like retirement planning, education funds, etc.
What is the goal reverse function useful for and what scenarios is it suitable for?
The goal reverse function allows you to set a target amount and the system automatically calculates the required investment parameters. This function is particularly suitable for: 1) Retirement planning: Set retirement funds needed, calculate monthly investment required; 2) Education fund: Prepare for children's education expenses, plan investment amounts in advance; 3) Home down payment: Set home purchase goals, calculate savings plans; 4) Startup capital: Prepare startup funds for future entrepreneurship.
How much impact do different compounding frequencies have on investment returns?
Compounding frequency refers to how often interest is calculated and reinvested. Common frequencies include: annual, semi-annual, quarterly, monthly, and daily compounding. Higher frequency yields greater returns, but the difference is usually not significant. For example, investing $100k at 8% annual return for 10 years: annual compounding yields about $216k, monthly compounding about $222k, daily compounding about $223k. For long-term investments, monthly compounding is usually the most cost-effective choice.
How to set reasonable annual return expectations?
Reasonable annual return expectations should be based on historical data and risk tolerance: 1) Conservative investments (bank deposits, government bonds): 2-4%; 2) Moderate investments (bond funds, balanced funds): 4-8%; 3) Aggressive investments (stock funds, index funds): 6-12%; 4) High-risk investments (individual stocks, futures, etc.): potentially higher but extremely volatile. It's recommended to choose based on your risk tolerance, and for long-term investments, consider 6-8% annual returns.
Why is dollar-cost averaging suitable for ordinary investors?
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy very suitable for ordinary investors: 1) Reduces timing risk: no need to judge market highs and lows; 2) Averages costs: reduces average investment cost through batch purchases; 3) Forced savings: cultivates good investment habits; 4) Compound effect: long-term persistence can fully leverage the power of compounding; 5) Simple operation: automatic execution after setup, no frequent operations needed. Historical data shows that persisting with DCA for over 15 years has a 90%+ probability of positive returns.
What impact does inflation have on investment returns and how to deal with it?
Inflation erodes the real purchasing power of investments. For example, with 3% annual inflation, $1M in 10 years has purchasing power equivalent to $740k today. Strategies to combat inflation: 1) Investment returns should exceed inflation rate; 2) Choose inflation-resistant assets like stocks, real estate, commodities; 3) Avoid holding cash long-term; 4) Consider Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS); 5) Diversify investments to reduce single asset risk. Generally, annual returns should be 2-3 percentage points higher than inflation to achieve real wealth growth.
What is the relationship between risk and return in investments?
Risk and return in investments are usually positively correlated: higher returns typically come with higher risks. Main risk types include: 1) Market risk: overall market volatility; 2) Credit risk: issuer default; 3) Liquidity risk: difficulty in timely liquidation; 4) Inflation risk: declining purchasing power; 5) Currency risk: exchange rate fluctuations in foreign investments. Risk management methods: 1) Diversification; 2) Long-term holding; 3) Regular adjustments; 4) Understanding your risk tolerance; 5) Don't put all eggs in one basket.
