The Rule of 72, as a mathematical concept, approximates the number of years it would take to double the principal at a constant rate of return. However, the performance of investments fluctuates so the actual time it takes an investment to double cannot be predicted with any certainty, and there is no guarantee that an investment or savings program can outpace inflation.
All figures in the above chart are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect an actual investment in any product. Additionally, they do not reflect the performance risk, expenses or charges associated with an actual investment. Past performance is not an indication of future results.
