Historical ISA limits and the power of compound growth

Historical ISA limits and the power of compound growthIn our last post we looked at historical ISA limits. We saw how its been possible for a couple to shelter £424,560 from the taxman since 1987. However, even more significantly, they could have become ISA millionaires if their money had grown by 7% each year.

In this post we'll look at how.

How investing up to historical ISA limits could have made you a millionaire

As you can see from the table below, a couple adding the full ISA allowance each year would have put away £424,560. However, if they had also achievied an annual growth rate of 7%, that would have grown to over £1.1 million through the power of compounding. That’s exciting.
