What is Compound Interest? 

Basically compound interest is your initial principal + accumulated interest over the periods.
In other words it is  basically interest on interest.

So like I mentioned earlier on the questions my investor asked, I replied that when you opt for reinvestment you are already benefiting the value of compounding interest. I will show you the reason behind below :-

Let say you invested RM10,000 with the rate of return of 5% on a compounding interest basis. 

Year 1 :  RM 10,000 * 5% =  RM 500     = RM 10,500
Year 2 :  RM 10,500 * 5% = RM 525      =RM 11,025
Year 3 :   RM 11,025 *5% = RM 551.25 =RM 11,576.25  

Therefore the total interest received  = RM 1576.25
( RM 500 + RM 525 + RM 551.25)

As compare to simple interest / without compound interest :-

Year 1 : RM 10,000 * 5% = RM 500 = RM 10,500
Year 2 : RM 10,000 * 5% = RM 500 = RM 10,500
Year 3 : RM 10,000 * 5% = RM 500 = RM 10,500

Total interest received = RM 1500

As you can see , obviously with compounding interest it is more worth while if you understand the basis of Time Value of Money, which simply means that money available today is worth more than the future unless money itself an generate interest themselves. Hence, we are need to invest our money in different platform in order to make our money value more value in near future. 

Therefore, the higher the number of compound periods the greater the compound interest value. Compounding interest also aids in boosting up the investment value over the long term periods.

So what is MF/ UT to you ? 

To some of us, it is a form of investment / another option to place you funds in to earn a better return. 
Then comes the next question. What is investment to you ? When we say we are investing into anything we are actually putting in some cash / time into something in order for us to earn a certain return. The return could be in terms of better interest / skills set / knowledge / etc... for our own future benefits. 

Yes, you got it right, MF / UT does gives a better return in general as to compare to fixed deposits and other instruments. The key here is we need to know our objectives on investment and the duration we need to achieve it. Why do we need a duration or a time frame ? Because that's only make it more meaningful. Investing is not an overnight thing its a medium to long term thing. 

* take a look at my older post for more insights*

Sp MF/ UT is basically a pool of funds collected from different individuals / corporate which is known by investors. Yes that's include me and you . If you are investing or plan to invest in MF/ UT then you are an investor or potential investor. 

Thereafter the pool of funds will be entrusted and managed by professionals which are known as fund managers. These fund managers will then select the company stocks that is suitable based on the risk tolerance of the funds and objectives of the funds as well as the types of the funds.
( equities , money markets, bonds, balance , mixed assets, index )

At the end of the day what we all are looking for is the return as i mentioned above. So how does the returns earns. Well in MF/ UT our returns are based on :-

1. Capital Appreciation 
Increase in the fund price 

2. Income Distribution 
Dividends.

3. Combination of (1) & (2)
