Compound tariffA tariff that combines both a specific and an ad valorem component.Similar MatchesCompound reversionary bonusCompound reversionary bonusA with profits life assurance bonus, normally added annually to the policy, which is based on the profits of the life company's investments.The compound reversionary bonus is normally calculated on the sum assured (or basic sum assured) plus bonuses to date and is payable at the maturity of the policy or prior death. Once declared, reversionary bonuses are guaranteed. Compound Annual Growth RateCompound Annual Growth RateBest defined by example. If you invest $100 today and make 5% in the first year and reinvest ($105) and make 8% in the second year, the compound annual growth rate is 6.489%. The calculation is $100x1.05x1.08=$113.4 which is what you end up with at the end of year two. The average return is [square root(113.4/100) -1]= 0.06489 or 6.489%. Note 1. If we had three compounding periods we would take the cubic root (power of 1/3). Note 2. If we had invested at exactly 6.489 in both periods, we get $100x1.06489x1.06489=$113.4. Note 3. The example is directed to a return - but CAGR could be applied to earnings growth, GDP growth, etc. CompoundingCompoundingThe process of accumulating the time value of money forward in time.
