Compounding kab shuru hoti hai?
Compounding technically pehle din se shuru hoti hai, lekin iska dramatic asar 10-15 saal ke baad dikhta hai. Iske baad growth exponential (tezi se badhne wali) ho jaati hai. Isliye jitna jaldi shuru karo, utna behtar.
Monthly compounding aur annual compounding mein kya fark hai?
Monthly compounding mein aapko zyada returns milte hain. Example: ₹1 Lakh par 12% return — annual compounding mein 10 saal baad ₹3.1 Lakh milega, monthly compounding mein ₹3.3 Lakh. Mutual funds mein practically daily NAV change hoti hai jo best compounding effect deta hai.
Rule of 72 kya hai?
Rule of 72 ek simple formula hai: 72 ko return rate se divide karo aur result = paisa double hone ke saal. Jaise 12% return par 72÷12=6 saal mein paisa double hoga. Ye quickly compare karne ka asaan tarika hai.
Compounding ke liye best investment kaunsa hai?
Equity Mutual Funds (specially index funds aur large cap funds) long term compounding ke liye best hain. Historical 12-15% CAGR ke saath ye FD (7%) se kaafi aage hain. Tax efficiency bhi zyada hai — LTCG tax 10% sirf ₹1 Lakh se upar gain par lagta hai.
Kya compounding ka nuksaan bhi ho sakta hai?
Compounding sirf positive returns par kaam karta hai. Market down hone par loss bhi compound ho sakta hai short term mein. Isliye SIP se regular invest karo — market corrections mein zyada units milti hain jo long term mein benefit deti hain.
