Regarding the future value of an annuity, the compounding frequency has a direct impact on the terminal value of the investment. If an investor chooses to invest 10,000 annually at a rate of 12% per annum for 5 years, the total accumulation will be higher if interest is compounded quarterly rather than annually. Furthermore, the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due remains constant in percentage terms regardless of the compounding frequency applied during the tenure.
