Compounding works for debt funds as well. However, the problem is that these funds compound at a lower rate. Also, they compound more consistently. So, compounding in a debt fund is almost like a recurring deposit. It yields lower return and so, it compounds slowly. In the case of equity, it compounds erratically. However, in the long run, it is believed to compound faster than a debt fund.
