1. Dividend Stocks

Investing in dividend stocks allows you to own a share of a publicly traded company. As the stock price fluctuates, you can benefit from its appreciation. Many companies also pay dividends to shareholders, which can be reinvested to earn more compound interest. Many brokers offer a dividend reinvestment program (DRIP) that automatically reinvests dividends by purchasing more fractional shares of the company’s stock.

2. Series I Savings Bonds

Series I savings bonds, issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, earn interest based on a fixed rate and an inflation-adjusted rate. These bonds compound interest semi-annually, allowing your earnings to grow more quickly. While they have a 30-year maturity, you can cash them in as early as 12 months after purchase, though cashing in before five years results in a loss of three months’ interest.

3. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

ETFs own a “basket” of stocks, bonds, and other securities, often tracking a specific index like the S&P 500. This allows for portfolio diversification without needing to buy individual securities. Reinvesting dividends from ETFs can compound your returns, and some brokers offer DRIP for ETFs. Examples include the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF and the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF.

4. Mutual Funds

Mutual funds, similar to ETFs, own a variety of assets and may track specific indexes or sectors. You can reinvest dividends into the fund to compound your returns. Unlike ETFs, mutual funds aren’t traded on major exchanges and may have higher fees and minimum investment requirements. Diversifying your investments across multiple asset classes is advisable.

5. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

REITs invest in income-producing properties and are required to pay out at least 90% of their income as dividends. Reinvesting these dividends can compound your returns. Some REITs trade on public exchanges, allowing you to benefit from share price appreciation. However, they are still subject to real estate market risks, so diversifying your investments is important.

6. Compounding Interest for Short-Term Savings

If you prefer low-risk options, consider deposit accounts that offer interest on your balance:

• High-yield savings accounts: These accounts offer higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts and provide easy access to your funds.
• Money market accounts: These accounts offer higher interest rates and access to funds via debit cards, checks, or bank transfers, though they may have maintenance fees.
• Certificates of deposit (CDs): CDs offer higher interest rates but require locking in your funds for a set period. Early withdrawal may incur penalties.

Consult with a Financial Advisor

To make the most of compound interest investments, consider consulting with a financial advisor. They can provide personalized guidance based on your financial goals and help structure your portfolio. Whether you need ongoing management or occasional advice, a financial advisor can be a valuable resource.
