According to Albert Einstein, compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world! The power of compounding allows us to put our money to work for us (and not the other way round).

In this presentation we will explore the dramatic impact compounding can have on wealth accumulation. It will cover the basic principle of compounding, show its relevance across finance, and explore some subtle implications for wealth management including the importance to early saving and the opportunity cost of discretionary spending.
