• A major investment benefit of owning alpacas is based on the concept of compounding. Savings accounts earn interest, which if left in the account, adds to principal. The increased principal earns additional interest, thereby compounding the investor's return. Alpacas reproduce almost every year, and about one-half of their babies are females. When you retain the offspring in your herd, they begin producing babies. This is "Alpaca Compounding." Tax-deferred wealth building is another "Alpaca advantage." As your herd grows, you postpone paying income tax on its increasing value until such time as you begin selling the offspring.
