Frequently Asked Questions

Detailed explanations regarding lump sum growth methodology and assumptions.

Cash left in low-interest accounts loses purchasing power every year due to inflation. At a 3.5% inflation rate, cash purchasing power drops by roughly half in approximately 20 years.

Periodic rebalancing sells top-performing assets to purchase underperforming ones, keeping your portfolio aligned with your target risk profile and locking in gains.

It is generally wise to pay off high-interest debt (such as credit cards or personal loans) first, as doing so provides a guaranteed, risk-free return equal to the saved interest rate.

Price return tracks only the increase in asset share prices, whereas total return includes all reinvested dividends and distributions, which account for a major portion of long-term wealth.
