FAQ
How to set the expected annual return rate?
The expected annual return rate should be set reasonably based on investment product type, historical performance, and risk preference. For example, equity products can be set at 8%-15%, while bond products can be set at 3%-6%.
What is the difference between compound interest and simple interest?
Simple interest calculates interest only on the principal, while compound interest calculates interest on both the principal and the accumulated interest. In long-term investments, compound interest generates more significant return growth.
Are the simulation results accurate?
Simulation results are for reference only. Actual investment returns will be affected by market fluctuations, policy changes, and other factors. Please make investment decisions based on your own risk tolerance and market conditions.
Can I simulate regular fixed investments?
Currently, this tool mainly simulates the returns of lump-sum investments. The regular fixed investment function will be launched in subsequent versions, so stay tuned.
How to choose the right investment product type?
You should choose the right investment product based on your risk tolerance, investment term, and financial goals. Investors with high risk tolerance and long investment terms can choose products like stocks and funds; investors with low risk tolerance and short investment terms can choose low-risk products like bonds.
Professional Knowledge
The Magic of Compound Interest
Compound interest refers to adding the generated interest to the principal after each interest period to calculate the interest for the next period. The formula for compound interest is: A = P(1 + r)^n, where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of years. In the long run, compound interest can generate amazing wealth growth.
Risk-Return Characteristics of Different Investment Products
Stocks: high risk, high return, suitable for investors with strong risk tolerance; Funds: diversified investment, lower risk than stocks, higher return potential than bonds; Bonds: low risk, low return, suitable for conservative investors; Real estate: long-term value preservation and appreciation, poor liquidity; Cryptocurrency: extremely high risk, extremely high return, suitable for investors with extremely strong risk tolerance.
The Importance of Portfolio Diversification
Portfolio diversification is an important strategy to reduce investment risk. By spreading funds across different types, industries, and regions of investment products, you can reduce the risk associated with a single investment and improve the stability of the overall investment portfolio.
