Interest Calculation Methods
1. Daily Interest Calculation in Arrears
Orbita Notes calculate interest daily in arrears, meaning that interest is based on the principal amount plus any accumulated interest from previous periods.
- Daily Interest Formula:
Interest for a given day= (Annual Interest Rate X Principal/ 365)
- How It Works:
- Interest earned each day becomes part of the new principal for the following day.
- Even small increments accumulate over time, creating a compounding growth effect throughout the investment period.
2. Fixed vs. Variable Interest Rates
Orbita Notes offer flexibility by providing both fixed and variable interest rate structures, allowing investors to choose according to their risk appetite.
- Fixed Interest Rates:
- BTA1, for example, offers a fixed annual interest rate of 6%, providing predictable returns over its 10-year term.
- Advantage: Fixed rates offer stability, especially in uncertain market environments with fluctuating interest rates.
- Variable Interest Rates:
- Future Orbita Notes (such as BTA2 or BTA3) may feature variable rates tied to M&A performance or market indices.
- Potential: Variable rates provide opportunities for higher returns but may expose investors to increased volatility.
3. Compound Interest vs. Simple Interest
Orbita Notes employ compound interest, which allows investors to earn interest on both the principal and previously earned interest.
- Simple Interest Model:
- In simple interest, interest is only earned on the initial principal amount.
- Example:
- $10,000 at a 6% simple annual rate = $600 per year.
- Over 10 years: $600 × 10 = $6,000 in total interest.
- Compound Interest Model (Used by Orbita Notes):
- In compound interest, interest accumulates not only on the principal but also on previously accrued interest.
- Example:
- A $10,000 investment at 6% annual interest, compounded daily, grows faster than with simple interest due to compounding effects.
4. Compound Interest Calculation for Orbita Notes
Orbita Notes use compound interest to calculate the future value of investments. This method ensures that interest is not only earned on the initial principal but also on the accumulated interest over time. The investment grows progressively, creating a compounding effect that accelerates returns, especially over long periods.
How It Works:
- Interest is added daily:
- Each day’s interest is based on the principal amount plus any accumulated interest from previous days.
- As new interest is added daily, the principal grows, and future interest calculations use this increased amount.
- Daily Compounding Example:
- Consider an investment of $10,000 at an annual interest rate of 6%.
- The interest is compounded daily, meaning the principal is updated every day to include earned interest.
- Over a 10-year period, the principal grows steadily as each day’s interest is reinvested.
- Result After 10 Years:
- After 10 years of daily compounding at 6%, the initial investment of $10,000 would grow to approximately $18,196.09.
Impact of Daily Compounding:
- Exponential Growth:
- The longer the investment period, the greater the effect of compounding, as each day’s interest increases the base for future calculations.
- This means that even relatively small daily interest accruals can lead to substantial growth over time.
Why This Matters to Investors:
- Higher Total Returns:
- Daily compounding offers higher returns than simple interest models, where interest is calculated only on the original principal.
- Ideal for Long-Term Growth:
- Investments in Orbita Notes, with their 10-year terms, benefit significantly from compounding, making them attractive for investors looking to maximize long-term value.
This compounding strategy ensures that Orbita Notes deliver consistent, sustainable growth over the investment period, providing investors with a secure path toward enhanced returns.
5. Role of Compounding in Long-Term Growth
The daily compounding model employed by Orbita Notes maximizes growth over time.
- Exponential Growth:
- Each day’s accrued interest becomes part of the principal for the next calculation, accelerating the growth rate.
- This cumulative effect becomes more pronounced over extended investment periods, such as the 10-year term of BTA1.
- Reinvestment Opportunities:
- Investors can reinvest interest earnings into additional Orbita Notes to further boost growth through compounding.
6. Payout Models and Flexibility
Orbita Notes offer multiple payout options, enabling investors to align returns with their financial strategies.
- Periodic Payouts:
- Investors may choose to receive quarterly or annual interest payouts for steady income during the investment period.
- Accrued Interest at Maturity:
- Alternatively, investors can allow the interest to accumulate and receive the entire amount at maturity, maximizing the compounding effect.
7. Currency Flexibility in Interest Payouts
Orbita Notes provide multi-currency payout options, giving investors flexibility in managing their portfolios.
- Payouts in Central Ura, USD, or Domestic Currency:
- Investors can opt to receive interest payments in Central Ura, USD, or their domestic currency, depending on their financial needs and market conditions.
- This structure reduces exposure to currency fluctuations and enhances portfolio stability.
