Techniques of Compounding and Discounting and Their Utility for Individual Investors

In the case of compound interest, the earned interest is not paid to the investor but reinvested. The interest thus aggregates. The opposite of compounding is discounting. In discounting, the investor tries to find out the present value of a future sum, while in compounding, the investor calculates the future value of a present sum. Both techniques are useful to individual investors for calculating present value from future value and vice versa.

Manohar V Dansingani
Corporate Trainer and Keynote Speaker. E-mail: mdansingani@gmail.com

Most investors in mutual funds pay little or no attention to an extremely important document, the Factsheet. This mandatory disclosure is key to understanding how the schemes have performed, the risk taken on to deliver the performance, the performance vis-à-vis a benchmark, whether the fund manager has outperformed, and last but not least, the portfolio of securities and a disclosure on the historical returns. In Part I - Equity (Portfolio Organizer, June 2019), we understood how to read the factsheets of equity funds. In this article, we shall discuss factsheets of debt funds.
