While the effect may appear modest at first, it can become more meaningful over longer periods, especially when earnings remain invested and contributions are made consistently. Understanding how compounding works may help investors better evaluate the role of time, reinvestment and consistency in a long-term investment strategy.<\/p><p data-start=\"0\"
