The Power of Compounding: How Small Steps Build Lasting Wealth

When it comes to building wealth, one of the most powerful forces at your disposal is something simple, consistent, and remarkably effective: compounding.

At Hexagon Capital Partners, we help clients leverage this financial superpower to grow their wealth over time — and the earlier you start, the stronger the results.

What is Compounding?

Compounding happens when your investments earn returns — and those returns begin to earn returns too.

Think of it like a snowball rolling down a hill: as it moves, it gathers more snow, growing bigger and faster as it goes. The same is true for your money. The more time it has to grow, the more powerful compounding becomes.

A Simple Example

Imagine you invest $10,000 today in an account that earns 7% annually.

• After 10 years: your investment grows to about $19,700

• After 20 years: it’s worth $38,700

• After 30 years: it reaches nearly $76,100

The growth accelerates because each year’s earnings are added to your balance, creating a larger base for future growth.

Why Starting Early Matters

Time is the secret ingredient that makes compounding so powerful. The sooner you begin saving and investing, the more you can benefit — even small amounts invested early can outpace larger amounts added later.

Starting at 25 vs. 35 can make a six-figure difference by retirement.

At Hexagon Capital Partners, we work with clients to build long-term strategies that harness the power of compounding — helping your money work smarter, not harder.

How to Put Compounding to Work

Invest consistently. Automatic contributions to retirement plans or investment accounts help keep your plan on track.

Reinvest your earnings. Rather than cashing out dividends or interest, reinvest to keep your snowball growing.

Stay invested. Markets fluctuate — but compounding works best when you give it time, staying focused on your long-term goals.

Review your plan. As your life changes, your strategy should adapt. We’re here to guide you at every stage.
