The Power of Compounding

What is compounding?
Simply put, compounding is interest earning interest. Over time, compounding can create a sizable difference in an investment's growth, as this chart shows.

How's it done?
Simply by reinvesting your mutual fund distributions (the earnings that your mutual fund generates). When you reinvest your distributions, you have more earnings available to compound over time.

Rates of return are hypothetical, before taxes, assume no withdrawals, and do not represent any particular investment. Returns are compounded quarterly. These figures are calculated on a fixed interest rate and assume no fluctuation in the value of principal. This illustration is not a projection of investment results nor indicative of what an investment in a First American mutual fund can produce over time.
